Spanning decades of film history, Translating Hollywood examines posters from

legendary directors, and some that are coveted collectibles. Also featured are
works by such noted designers as Saul Bass. The book covers the gamut from
American blockbusters to obscure Russian science fiction movies, with multiple
takes on a wide variety of films from Hollywood, France, Japan, England,
Argentina, Belgium, Cuba and much of Eastern Europe. The accompanying captions
discuss the various visual elements used in each of the posters, including
typography, colors, connotations, catchphrases, and more.
Starting May 7, Posteritati will exhibit posters from the new book showing
side-by-side comparisons of posters from different countries.
Translating Hollywood also features an introduction to the history of film
posters by New York Times columnist Dave Kehr.
