An American historian comes to collect pieces of evidence and to know the truth about him.Little by little ,we discover that the truth is not what is conventionally understood. Under torture ,the young prisoner of the camp gave away one of his pals, a communist. But the worst is yet to come. (source: imdb.com)
This poster represents József Finta's typical style in the 1960s. He developed a new technique, the so-called burned photography. This meant the use of very contrasted photographs together with graphic elements. This piece perfectly fits to the athmosphere of crime movies.
