A stylish original East German A1 film poster for 80s romcom The Woman in Red, released in the DDR under the title Die Frau in Rot. Designed by Werner Gottsmann, this striking poster captures the glamour and comedy of the film through a bold, fashion-led image: a swirling red dress, red shoes and a dark painterly background, punctuated with bright spots of colour. It is a wonderfully elegant and graphic interpretation, very different from the more familiar photographic publicity used for the film elsewhere. A knockout design with the knockout red dress. Directed by and starring Gene Wilder, The Woman in Red is a 1984 romantic comedy about a married man who becomes infatuated with a glamorous model after seeing her in a red dress. The film also stars Kelly LeBrock, Charles Grodin and Gilda Radner, and is especially remembered for its music by Stevie Wonder, including the Oscar-winning song I Just Called to Say I Love You. Light, stylish and very much of its decade, the film became one of the memorable romantic comedies of the 1980s. East German film posters are highly collectable for their distinctive artistic approach to international cinema. DDR poster...

A beautiful and highly striking original East German A1 film poster for The Color Purple, released in the DDR under the title Die Farbe Lila. Designed by Manfred Anker, the poster is a superb example of East German cinema advertising at its most elegant and symbolic. Rather than using a conventional cast image, Anker creates a bold silhouetted female profile, filled with a star-like texture and set against a clean white background. The small touches of red, turquoise and purple give the design a quiet emotional intensity. Directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1985, The Color Purple is based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The film follows Celie, a young Black woman in the American South, as she endures hardship, abuse and separation before gradually finding strength, love and her own voice. Starring Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey and Margaret Avery, it remains one of Spielberg's most powerful dramas and an important work of 1980s American cinema. East German film posters are especially admired for their imaginative and often minimal interpretations of international films. DDR poster...
