Two unique-looking posters for Julian (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) Schnabel’s new feature, Miral, have cropped up online.
The film focuses on an orphaned Palestinian girl (played by Slumdog Millionaire’s Freida Pinto) growing up in the wake of Arab-Israeli war, who finds herself drawn into the conflict. The posters successfully blend a graphic art feel with religious overtones, resulting in two striking efforts.
The film received mixed responses following its premiere at Venice last year, but any directorial effort from artist Schnabel is definitely worth investigating.
Thanks to Cinema Blend for the images.
