We're thrilled to present a collection of original posters, selected by Ari Aster, on the occasion of the release of his latest film Eddington. Aster’s selections reveal a wide range of influences on his controversial new film that trace a path from the classic American Westerns of the 1950s and 60s all the way to the town of Eddington New Mexico in 2020. Aster:
Here are posters I've selected for some movies that I love, all of which belong to one tradition or another that my new movie Eddington could be said to fall into. These traditions include classic westerns (like The Big Country), eccentric westerns (like Johnny Guitar), revisionist westerns (like The Wild Bunch), paranoid conspiracy thrillers (like Parallax View), satire and black comedy (like Robocop), small-town portraits (like Last Picture Show), America-as-microcosm ensemble epics (like Nashville)—you name it!
View all of Aster’s selections in person at Posteritati July 26 through August 22.
