About the poster : The poster is in French, even though it is a Japanese movie, as it was created for the French market. French and international posters, such as those designed for the Cannes Film Festival, often feature more dramatic imagery to appeal to Western audiences, blending traditional Japanese art elements with an emphasis on the film's emotional depth and award-winning prestige.

About the Movie : La Porte de l’Enfer (Gate of Hell) is a 1953 Japanese historical drama directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa. Set during the Heian period, the film tells the tragic story of a samurai, Morito (played by Kazuo Hasegawa), who falls in love with Lady Kesa (Machiko Kyō), a married woman. Obsessed with her, Morito's relentless pursuit leads to devastating consequences for all involved. Renowned for its stunning use of color and meticulous period detail, the film was one of the first Japanese movies to gain international acclaim, winning the Grand Prix at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Its exploration of loyalty, love, and obsession makes it a timeless masterpiece of Japanese cinema.
