About origin of LTROI movie posters

[RonnieRocket]

Greetings.

I am whishing to know about the creation of these posters for the movie. If any of you have any information to provide i would be very pleased.

Movie poster 2 (large format):


Movie poster 1:


Who made them (each)? Where did he/she got the idea? Very specificaly how is related to the movie? This last question seems misinformed but i am very aware of this motif and it really fits the movie, the idea o separation, window, portal, barrier. The shadows behind frosted glass is commonly used, although its perfect and beautiful for this movie. I know there are several scenes depicting this hands on glass or hands on a wall, but there is no scene in the movie with this particular shadows in poster 1 and 2. Why, i mean, how they did it?

Thank you and nice to meet you.

In the top poster, it looks like Lina's wearing the same pink shirt she wears in the basement scene. So, I'm guessing that picture was taken when they were filming the pool scene where she watches Oskar through the window.

I once asked why the title of the film was designed the way it was, with the words split across three different lines. I finally realized that the middle line, The Right One, was being used to represent a barrier between the other two. The people who designed the advertising seemed to have a pretty good understanding of what the film was about.

This is fascinating to think about! I am particularly a fan of the first poster. It is an intriguing image with a haunting, slightly horror-esque feeling. (:

Well, the figure in the large poster looks like Lina, so the picture might have been shot by the movie still photographer in connection to filming the movie.
The smaller poster looks similar, so I would guess that it is a different picture from the same shooting session.

Technically, the pictures show someone standing close to the other side of a moist glass pane, with a very strong backlight.

I wish I had information to offer about the posters, but I am completely ignorant about who made them or how they were developed.

Hi,

Just back from Cuba where I finished The Kindness (750 pages!)
To this very specific question I actually have an answer.
The poster pictures where taken in a separate photo session in Stockholm quite a few months after the shooting of the movie was finished.
Lina was there, of course, and so were me and Tomas. Exactly as mentioned it was a frosted glass pane, backlit and with water sprayed on it.
Loads of pictures of me and Tomas were taken too, but they have never been used anywhere.
I remember it especially because I was just back from Morocco, and consequently dressed in a djellaba. And I had bought lighters that had a LED-light that projected an image of Saddam Hussein onto a wall. Tomas got one as a gift.

All the best

John

Hey John,

Good to hear from you. Hope you are staying safe out there.

Of course, we would love it if you felt free to share any of those pictures here.

If you don't care to share any of those, then please post a pic of Saddam Hussein projected from your lighter!

Unfortunately I have never seen any of those photos, but here is one of three happy campers (me, Hoyte van Hoytema and Tomas Alfredson) after winning the nordic film prize in Gothenburg.
