EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Academy Poster for Claude Autant-Lara's iconic film "La Traversee de Paris" (1956), also known as "PIG ACROSS PARIS". The poster, adorned with vibrant blue and red hues, immediately catches the eye and transports us back to a bygone era of French cinema. At the center of this artistic masterpiece is an enchanting red balloon, symbolizing innocence and freedom. Its presence hints at the whimsical nature of this heartwarming tale that unfolds onscreen. Surrounding it are two legendary actors who brought their immense talent to breathe life into this cinematic gem - Jean Gabin and Bourvil. The choice of colors in the poster adds depth to its visual appeal. The contrasting blues evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, while the bold reds infuse energy and passion into every frame. This clever use of color perfectly captures the essence of Autant-Lara's film, which seamlessly blends comedy with social commentary. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the British Film Institute collection, we are reminded not only of the timeless beauty found within classic films but also how art has always had a profound impact on society. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, these masterpieces continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
