Malèna

A Japanese B5 movie flyer for Giuseppe Tornatore’s 2000 film Malèna, starring Monica Bellucci. This is Design A, distinguished by its expansive blue sky, seaside setting, and Bellucci dressed in white.

Design A places Monica Bellucci on the right, her head lowered and a black handbag in hand. At left, a boy sits on a sea wall beside a bicycle and schoolbag. A vertical Japanese tagline runs through the blue sky, while the title マレーナ appears in large red lettering below.

Three smaller film stills occupy the lower section, alongside a credit for Ennio Morricone's music. The upper corner notes the film's 73rd Academy Award nominations for Original Score and Cinematography.

A red ITALIA IN GIAPPONE 2001 emblem provides the basis for dating this flyer c. 2001 (estimated). The emblem identifies a 2001 promotional context, not an exact printing date.

Only the front is documented.
