Samba a Rio — Sarita Montiel, Rafael Gil, French Film Poster (120 × 160 cm)

Pure chromatic spectacle. Created for the French release of Rafael Gil’s musical drama starring Sarita Montiel, the poster explodes with saturated pinks, yellows and blues, mirroring the rhythm and theatricality of samba culture. Two monumental faces dominate the composition while a vibrant street dance scene unfolds below — tambourines, spinning dresses and musicians in motion. Illustrated by C. Belinsky and printed in Eastmancolor, the design captures the exuberant visual language of mid-century European film advertising and the star power of Montiel at the height of her international popularity.
