I am the son of two painters and grew up in museums and art galleries around the world. The picture was painted exactly 100 years before the Hughes film came out, and this particular scene in the film hit me very hard when I first saw it. It will perhaps remind people of that famous scene in John Hughes’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) where they visit Chicago’s Art Institute and Cameron Frye ends up transfixed in front of Seurat’s painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1886). That said if you squint your eyes, even close up, you’ll see the face much more clearly. NEWBOLT: There is an actual face there but much like standing very close to a large painting by Seurat, when you are close to the poster you end up seeing only a cloud of colors and thus having the vaguest sense of a face or a multitude of faces as a result. Is there an actual face in there or is it a multitude of faces mashed together? ![]() NOTEBOOK: As with A Confucian Confusion, your poster feels as if you should be able to step back from it and a face will start to appear, but only a very vague sense of a face forms. you can read an excerpt from the interview here: ![]() to accompany the selection caspar was interviewed by adrian curry about the making of the poster. ![]() Our poster for alexandra stergiou’s hybrid documentary, the act of coming out, was selected as MUBI’s movie poster of the week today.
