Original 1974 Re-Release Spanish 27 inch by 40 inch Poster for the 1965 Roman Polanski Horror Movie REPULSION starring Catherine Deneuve, Ian Hendry, John Fraser, Patrick Wymark, Yvonne Furneaux, Renee Houston, James Villiers, Valerie Taylor and Mike Pratt.

A sex-repulsed woman who disapproves of her sister’s boyfriend sinks into depression and has horrific visions of rape and violence.

The superb poster art for this poster is by ”Jano” (Francisco Fernández-Zarza Pérez) (1923 – 1993).

Francisco Fernández-Zarza Pérez, better known as Jano was a Spanish film poster designer, one of the most highly regarded in his time, along with Macario Gómez, alias “Mac”.
During the Spanish Civil War, he collaborated as an illustrator in republican magazines, for which he was sentenced to prison. In the 1950s he worked as a comic book cover artist for publishers such as Dolar, but his main strength was in the area of film advertising, becoming the preferred poster designer for Spanish distributors Chamartín, Filmayer, Hispamex, Mercurio Films and Procines..

The poster is in good folded condition with a small piece out of the bottom left corner and minor wear in the other 3 corners. There is slight age discoloration.
