Top Posters of 2010: #6. Amer

Date:

6. Amer (U.S Theatrical Poster)

Distributor: Olive Films
Tagline: None.
Comments: This poster kicks ass. It’s crazy, it’s erotic, it’s scary, it’s retro. It’s a Valentine’s card to “Giallo” films and it’s fans. Amer means “bitter” and as the film’s Bruno Forzani told us, “Bitter suggests the taste, one of the five senses. Our way of driving the narration is sensitive, visceral. As the theme is the discovery of the body, of desire, of sensuality, it was important for us to try to communicate the sensations of the main character (Ana) to the audience, to try to make the audience understand the story as if it was in the character’s skin.” Simply put: this is a beautiful homage-filled one-sheet and it was not surprisingly left unchanged for it’s international use.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
