This magnet features A Blonde in Love, 1965, by Peter Strausfeld.
In operation from 1931 to 1986, the Academy Cinema was London’s premiere art house movie theater. In 1945, the Academy hired German refugee and artist Peter Strausfeld to create unique advertising posters for its roster of international film screenings. Over three decades, Strausfeld designed hundreds of bold, predominantly single-color linocut compositions with a deceptively simple hand-printed feel. Where mainstream movie posters typically relied on colorful, montage-style interpretations of scenes from a film combined with striking typography, Strausfeld’s posters remain some of the most unique examples of localized cinema advertising in history.
Lásky jedné plavovlásky (A Blonde in Love or Loves of a Blonde) is a comedic drama produced by Czechoslovak New Wave director Miloš Forman. The film was inspired by his real-life experience of seeing a young woman struggle with a suitcase while crossing a bridge. While A Blonde in Love is considered Forman’s best Czech-language film, he is far better known for the two Academy Award Winning movies he directed after emigrating to the United States: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Amadeus.
