Year 1979 Poster Size 27 x 41" / 68.6 x 104.1cm (US One-Sheet) Rolled/Folded/Other Rolled previously folded Condition Near Mint Condition Notes Poster was folded as issued and has light folds. Released in 1979, "Quintet" is a dystopian science-fiction drama directed by Robert Altman and starring Paul Newman, Vittorio Gassman, Fernando Rey, Bibi Andersson and Brigitte Fossey. Newman plays Essex, a seal hunter who enters a frozen city in a future ice age and discovers that its remaining inhabitants are obsessed with a lethal tournament known as Quintet. One of Altman’s most unusual and austere films, "Quintet" replaces conventional science-fiction spectacle with a bleak meditation on mortality, ritual and social collapse. Its misted visual style, elaborate rules and enigmatic narrative divided critics on release, but the film has since developed a cult following among admirers of ambitious, unconventional 1970s cinema. This original US one-sheet was issued for the film’s 1979 theatrical release. The striking design reflects the picture’s frozen atmosphere and unsettling futuristic world.
