(Zoetrope, 1979) Original rolled 41 x 58” Japanese B-Zero size poster by noted stage and costume designer Eiko Ishioka for Francis Ford Coppola’s Viet-Nam War epic. This is the frustratingly elusive style of Marlon Brando as the renegade Colonel Kurtz, framed by a blaze of Napalm incinerating Charlie’s jungle. We know of only one other example of this extremely rare poster to previously appear at auction, and this one was obtained in person at the premiere in Japan in February 1980. A few very minor handling wrinkles and bumps, though essentially unused, Very Fine plus.
