While we dive deep into Hollywood’s poster offerings each month, looking 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 onto itself to be observed and admired. Today is the return of our monthly feature, Alternate Art, in which the talented designer Midnight Marauder creates an original, alternate poster for one of the month’s releases.
This month is for Olivier Assayas‘ Clouds of Sils Maria which hits limited theaters tomorrow and follows the dynamic between an actress (Juliette Binoche) and her personal assistant (Kristen Stewart). Reflecting a goddess/muse relationship, one can see the two alternate posters below. For more, read our review and interview with Assayas here. As a bonus, one can also see three hours worth of conversations with Assayas following the posters.
