LE SAMOURAI / EL SAMURAI (1967) FIRST CUBAN RELEASE SILKSCREEN POSTER, 1965

Art by Antonio Fernandez Reboiro (b. 1935)


29½ x 19¾in. (75 x 50 cm)


This film was written and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, and stars Alain Delon, François Périer and Nathalie Delon. The film is about a hitman - a perfectionist, who never gets caught, until one night after killing someone he realises that his actions have been witnessed. His attempts to come up with an alibi fail, and he slowly pushes himself further into a corner. 


Cuban posters have a very distinctive vibrant style. Antonio Fernandez Reboiro designed many film posters and is a highly respected artist, with works in MoMA's permanent collection. This very rare original release Cuban poster does not surface very often.
