Luchino Visconti's Senso (1954) Criterion Collection Poster

This striking poster for Luchino Visconti's 1954 film 'Senso' features a dramatic portrait of a couple against a stark black background. The woman, adorned in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown and white gloves, gazes downwards, holding a bouquet with red, white, and green ribbons, evoking the Italian flag. Beside her, a man in a white military-style uniform stands with a sword, his gaze intense and directed outwards. Scattered confetti in red, white, and green adds a festive yet somber atmosphere. The film's title, 'SENSO,' is presented in bold, stylized lettering, with 'Luchino Visconti's' in elegant script above. The Criterion Collection logo and the year 1954 are subtly placed on the left side. The artwork captures a sense of romantic drama and historical tension, characteristic of Visconti's cinematic style.
