Seven years ago, when I did
my first round-up of posters of the New York Film Festival, I led off with a Juliette Binoche poster (for
Certified Copy) so it seems fitting to kick off again with this rapturous image of Binoche for Claire Denis’
Let the Sun Shine In. It may not be the best poster of the festival—though it’s not bad—but Binoche’s look of blissful abandon seems fitting as New York cinephiles head into another fortnight of cinematic nirvana.
As usual I’ve tried to collect posters for all the films in the festival’s
main slate, the only two I came up short on being Serge Bozon’s
Mrs. Hyde and Chloé Zhao’s
The Rider. The best poster of the festival might well be one of many designs for Lucrecia Martel’s
Zama by the Spanish-born, Argentina-based designer Diego Berakha (you can see many more of them on his
website). The rest are the usual mixed bag ranging from slapdash teasers to overly slick actor-centric montages, and, though they’re presented here in no particular order, I’ve top-loaded the list with some of my favorite designs.
