SERPENT’S EGG 1977 Ingmar Bergman JAN MLODZENIEC POLISH POSTER

Original Polish 26 inch x 38 inch Polish Poster for the 1977 Ingmar Bergman Drama SERPENT’S EGG starring Liv Ullman, David Carradine, Gert Frobe, James Whitmaore and Heinz Bennent.

One rainy night in Weimar Berlin, Jewish American circus performer Abel Rosenberg (David Carradine) discovers that his brother Max, his trapeze-act partner, has killed himself. What follows is one of Bergman’s darkest and most fearful visions, as the drowned-in-drink Abel and Max’s ex-wife, cabaret singer Manuela (Liv Ullmann), feel increasingly unwelcome in a menacing and destitute city, eyed by the police as well as a scientist with diabolical intentions. The director’s sole big-budget Hollywood production, for which he created a surreal and atmospheric Berlin on a Munich soundstage, The Serpent’s Egg conjures a Kafkaesque nightmare about the decaying society that gave rise to the horrors of Nazism.

The Poster Art is by Jan Mlodozeniec (1929 - 2000). A Polish graphic designer. He worked in posters, drawing, book and publication design, and illustration. He studied from 1948 to 1955 at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in the Department of Graphic Arts and Posters of Henryk Tomaszewski.

The poster is in very good unfolded (rolled) condition with slight edge crinkling.
