Why would you put out a film as eighties as this and give it a dull modern cover? I have no idea, but that's what Second Sight did. A simple restoration of the great contemporary poster did the job, with a European one providing a great piece for the back as well.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
This one was something of a challenge; the film itself is achingly beautiful but I dislike covers that are just a single shot however beautiful it is as one shot shouldn't define a film. But the original poster was a bit inappropriate in full colour, so a sepia filter seemed a nice compromise.

Bound (1996)
Subbed in one of the better US theatrical posters to replace the tabloidy UK "it's by the guys who done The Matrix and has sex in it" cover. Though if ever a more modern film deserved a forties-style painted noir poster it's this one.

The Funeral (1996)
Abel Ferrara's The Funeral, another personal favourite that only seems to be largely available over here as part of a triple set with two other films. Standard stuff based around the US poster.
