Original Japanese Chirashi movie flyer for Czech movie Daisies by Vera Chytilova Double-sided! SIZE APPROX: 10″X7″ MOVIE ORIGIN: Czechoslovakia ORIGINAL TITLE: Daisies DIRECTOR: Vera Chytilova FOLDS: Never folded PINHOLES: No CONDITION: Mint ‘Chirashi’ is the Japanese word for a flyer or handbill, found in japanese cinemas to promote movies. The name is derived from the verb ‘chirasu’ – to scatter, distribute, disperse. In most cases, chirashi represents creative re-invention of original poster design. They are printed in a very limited number, so some of them are very hard to find, especially the ones for Czech movies.
As bold and adventurous as the film themselves, these international posters for French New Wave classics highlight an era of wild creativity in poster design.
