TESS

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1979 Roman Polanski Drama TESS, based on the novel “Tess of the d’Urbervilles” by Thomas Hardy and starring Nastassia Kinski, Peter Firth, Leigh Lawson, John Collin, Tony Church and Brigid Erin Bates.

A strong-willed peasant girl (Kinski) is sent by her father to the estate of some local aristocrats to capitalize on a rumour that their families are from the same line. This fateful visit commences an epic narrative of sex, class, betrayal, and revenge, which Polanski unfolds with deliberation and finesse.
