Foyer of Aero Cinema, Prague (16. 4. 2019 - 20. 6. 2019) —
This exhibition displayes 20 posters to the cult films of the 90’s.
These films were running around the screens of Czech cinemas during the 90’s, and who haven’t seen them, wasn’t anybody. Even on the screens of Aero cinema, just a while after its opening in 1998, these movies were whizzing all around. Often, one could tell only by how much was the floor flooded and soaked with beer, how hundreds of people were fascinated by these movies.
In other words, those were the years when the deafening sound of Coppola’s helicopters from Apocalypse Now was drowned out by even louder Wagner, the years when the chatter of Hannibal Lecter’s teeth from Silence of the Lambs took turns with real sharp fingernails of Freddy Krueger from The Nightmare in Elm Street in the cinemas. Woody Harrelson, in Oliver Stone’s opus, didn’t have the time to cool his shotgun and got too carried away with the fascinating depth of its muzzle – almost stumbling over David Lynch’s cut off ear from The Blue Velvet, laying around in the grass. British youth in Trainspotting and Acid House was devoting themselves ecstasically and with joy to their new hobbies, meanwhile were Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt chasing 12 Monkey of Terry Gilliam. We could go on and on with this list, where one film equals one legend: Pulp Fiction, Big Lebowski, U-Turn, From Dawn til Dusk, People versus Larry Flint, Matrix, Wild at Heart, Seven, Blood Simple and many more.
What a splendid time it was!
The displayed posters are a part of Terry posters collection. They are originals from the 90’s period, which the Czech distributors had to densely fill in with brands and names of then major firms and media, glittering on the bussiness sky of the 90‘s. That will also give you the magical feel and return you to the welcoming arms of the 90’s.
