King of Cult: Teruo Ishii Retrospective 2001 (石井輝男監督特集)

A Japanese B5 double-sided screening-program flyer for King of Cult, a ten-film retrospective dedicated to director Teruo Ishii at Jiyugaoka Musashino-kan. Held from October 6 to December 14, 2001, the retrospective brought together films from different periods of Ishii's career. The year 2001 identifies the screening program and this flyer's issue year, not the production year of a single film.

The front assembles a striking yellow-and-black collage of film imagery under the title King of Cult. Words including “Destroy,” “Eroticism,” “Violence,” “Mondo,” and “Strange love” frame the selection, while a deep black lower section gives the Japanese title room to stand apart.

The rust-red reverse is a detailed record of the 2001 retrospective: ten weekly programs, screening dates, film stills, and venue information, including a small location map. The selection ranges from Ishii's earlier exploitation and action cinema to later works such as Neji-shiki and Jigoku.

More than a promotional image, this flyer preserves the programming and graphic identity of a specific Tokyo late-show retrospective.
