Paris: Les Films du Losange, 1978. Vintage French mini poster for the 1978 French film.

Eric Rohmer's adaptation of Chretien de Troyes' 12th century Arthurian legend is notable for its unusual set. Unlike other adaptations, the film is set in a highly stylized theatrical realm, complete with props and an interactive chorus. Production designer Jean-Pierre Kohut-Svelko was inspired by the colorful, flat compositions of Medieval paintings, and seamlessly incorporated their aesthetic into his set, props, and lighting.

Shot on location in France.

15.5 x 21.5 inches, folded. Small manuscript pencil notation to the verso, else Near Fine.

Rosenbaum 1000.
