While we dive deep into Hollywood’s poster offerings each month to look at the best and worst studio-produced one-sheets, it’s time to put our money where our mouth is. At The Film Stage, we believe that if some care is taken, a poster can be a distinct creation unto itself that’s worthy of observation and admiration. Today is the return of our feature, Alternate Art, in which the talented designer Midnight Marauder creates an original, alternate poster for one of the month’s releases.
This week we have one for Alex Ross Perry‘s Queen of Earth, which already has an incredible official theatrical poster. The drama, which is now in limited release and available on VOD courtesy of IFC, follows Elisabeth Moss‘s character enduring an emotional breakdown while retreating to an isolated lake house.
Read our review, interview with Perry, and more here. We’ve also included the breakdown of a scene by Perry and his recent 45-minute conversation with Moss at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
