ARTIST UNKNOWN Il Y a Des Jours... Et Des Lunes, 1990

Original French Theatrical Release Poster – First Printing

This atmospheric original French poster was created for the 1990 release of Il y a des jours… et des lunes, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Claude Lelouch. Known for his poetic storytelling and interwoven narratives, Lelouch delivers here a contemplative film exploring the rhythms of life, love, chance, and human connection.

The poster’s minimalist yet powerful imagery centers on a luminous full moon breaking through dramatic, swirling clouds—an evocative visual metaphor for the film’s themes of destiny, cycles, and emotional flux. The restrained palette of deep blues and silvery whites enhances the mood, creating a quiet, introspective tension that draws the viewer in. The typography—bold, classic, and deliberately spaced—grounds the composition while allowing the celestial imagery to dominate.

Printed in France for theatrical distribution, this first-edition affiche is a fine example of the sophistication found in European film posters of the pre-digital poster era, where symbolism and atmosphere were favored over literal narrative depiction.

A compelling piece for collectors of French cinema and admirers of Lelouch’s work, this poster offers both visual elegance and cultural significance.
