New-York 1997 is the French title of Escape from New York, the 1981 science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Season Hubley, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton.
The French poster was designed by René Ferracci, using Critt Graham’s True Critt (Headliners, 1970). While the director’s name and the original title use True Critt Love, “New-York 1997” is rendered by hand: the bolder True Blue True Critt was redrawn with rounded corners in E and W and enhanced with a halo of noise.
