EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Academy Poster for Kon Ichikawa's Tokyo Olympiad (1965), also known as "Tokyo Orinpikku". The poster, adorned in a mesmerizing shade of blue, is a testament to the artistic brilliance that emanated from this iconic film. The British Film Institute has carefully preserved this piece of cinematic history, allowing us to delve into the world of sports and human triumph through Ichikawa's lens. As we gaze at this print, our imaginations are transported back to 1964 when Tokyo hosted the Summer Olympics. The poster itself exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. Its minimalist design draws attention to the central image - perhaps an athlete in motion or a symbolic representation of unity and competition. The vibrant blue background serves as a striking backdrop against which these elements come alive. Ichikawa's masterful direction captured not only the physical prowess displayed during those Olympic Games but also delved deeper into exploring themes such as national identity, cultural exchange, and personal struggles faced by athletes on their journey towards greatness. This print serves as a visual reminder of how cinema can transcend boundaries and capture moments that resonate with audiences across time and space. It stands as a tribute to Ichikawa's artistry while inviting us to reflect on the enduring spirit of athleticism showcased during one of history's most significant sporting events.
