HAPPINESS

Original 1970s Re-Release British 16 inch x 23 inch Poster for the 1932 Aleksandr Medvedkin Comedy HAPPINESS (SCHASTYE) starring Nikolai Cherkasov.

Medvedkin’s most important and endurable work came at the second half of the 1930s. His greatest film, Happiness (1935), is a brilliant, Chaplinesque parable of a farm peasant in debt, who wishes to commit suicide until he discovers true happiness through a faith in his future in a collective farm.

Poster art by Oscar Zárate (born 1942). Zárate is an Argentine comic book artist and illustrator. Zarate studied architecture and had a successful career in advertising in Argentina. He moved to Europe in 1971 and began to work in earnest as an illustrator. He has produced several posters for the independent film company The Other Cinema.

The poster is in fine unfolded (rolled) condition
