A couple of weeks ago, I interviewed Nathan Gelgud, an artist who has brought a wry comic book charm to the world of cinephilia. It seemed only natural that I should find out more about the art that has influenced him and so I asked him to select his personal top ten favorite movie posters. He was more than up for the challenge and decided to narrow the field to illustrated posters, which makes perfect sense. Here are his ten favorites, in no special order.1. (Above) Us one sheet for Five on the Black Hand Side (Oscar Williams, USA, 1973). Artist: Jack Davis.I love all the accouterments on the main figure—the hat, the cigar, the umbrella, suitcase, those things that go over the shoes. But even better is the way Davis has arranged all the characters around him, the way the jumping guy’s arm joins with the guy...

This beautiful pair of illustrated posters for two late 50s Maigret adaptations by Jean Delannoy is the work of Nathan Gelgud, an artist who by now should be well known to cinephiles in New York and Los Angeles. Nathan is the creator of the auteur tote bag, an essential cinephilic fashion accessory for the 2010s, more on which later. Full disclosure: I was involved in the art direction on these posters at Kino Lorber, whose repertory division is re-releasing Maigret Sets a Trap (originally released in the Us as Inspector Maigret and later re-released as Woman Bait) at Metrograph today and will be releasing both films on Blu-ray in December. I’d been aware of Nathan’s work for a while, but it was his comic-book style resumé poster for Metrograph’s Alain Tanner retrospective this summer that convinced me he’d be perfect for Maigret. And, as luck would have it,...

Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here with some more film curiosities. I love a great film-inspired doodle (Nathaniel's iPhone doodles are always a treat), and Brooklyn cartoonist Nathan Gelgud doesn't disappoint in that department. These fantastic "Movie Trios" are all still available at his etsy shop!
Here is François Truffaut's hero Jean-Pierre Léaud, caught between his older and younger lovers (Delphine Seyrig and Claude Jade) in Stolen Kisses.
Next in his chronology is Miou-Miou in Bertrand Biller's film Going Places, shown between her two thuggish men (Patrick Dewaere and Gérard Depardieu).
Finally, my favorite is After Hours (oh how I love Scorcese's quirky 80s noir), where Nathan draws the suicidal Rosanna Arquette between John Heard and Griffin Dunne. I like how he's placed Arquette in the middle; she really put the whole mess into motion, after all.
Nathan will also draw any custom Movie Trio that you want. So I've...

I like the new poster (see below) for the re-release of Francois Truffaut’s 1976 film L'argent de poche, but for me nothing can beat the kitsch charm of the original British poster which takes a number of memorable vignettes from the film and turns them into what looks like a teen romance paperback. In the UK the film was called Pocket Money (the literal translation) and legend has it that it was Steven Spielberg who suggested the American title Small Change.
L’argent de poche was Truffaut's biggest hit in France since The 400 Blows, and, after opening the 1976 New York Film Festival, went on to great success in the Us too. It's a strange film: mostly plotless, a combination of gentle humor, bitter social commentary and lovely magical realism ("Gregory went Boom!") populated by shaggy haired youngsters in bell bottoms. I've seen it twice before over the years and...
