L’Imprévu — Alberto Lattuada, 1961 French Film Poster (120 × 160 cm)

A tense, graphic composition built around gaze and pursuit. Created for the French release of Alberto Lattuada’s 1961 crime drama, the design contrasts an intimate noir close-up with a yellow roadside vignette where police halt a vehicle. The central figures — a woman in profile and a watchful male face emerging from shadow — heighten the film’s atmosphere of suspicion and seduction. Bold typography and dramatic illustration reflect the visual language of European cinema posters at the start of the 1960s.
