Description

Belle de Jour (1967) Poster, Japanese , Signed by Catherine Deneuve


Unframed: 58 x 20 in. (147 x 51 cm)


Mr. Sohal met Catherine Deneuve at a book signing at Hatchards in Piccadilly, London. There were two size posters printed for the Japanese release of the film. This poster was printed in two pieces and is the rarer of the two.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.


This film was directed by Luis Buñuel, and stars Catherine Deneuve in one of her most famous roles. Deneuve plays a young woman who spends her midweek afternoons as a high-class prostitute while her husband is at work.
