ATG poster gallery

[Mathieu Capel]

Great work, Martin ! And thanks to S?bastien/tampopo as well...
I am afraid I won't be able to help much, but I think that Eros+Massacre
poster was made by Hasegawa Genkichi, who was responsible for the posters
and title design of all Yoshida's films from Mizu de kakareta monogatari.
>From Eros he became director of photography as well, but I think he designed
this poster... and some more after that, maybe.
