New York Stories

A Japanese B5 double-sided movie flyer for New York Stories (1989), the three-part anthology directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Woody Allen. Issued in 1989 for the film's first Japanese theatrical release.

Against a deep violet background, a loose white brushstroke frames a moonlit New York skyline, with the Statue of Liberty rising above the waterfront. Portraits of Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Francis Ford Coppola sit along the lower edge, just above the oversized title.

The reverse shifts to a black-and-white, three-column layout. Each episode—Life Lessons, Life Without Zoe and Oedipus Wrecks—receives its own film still, Japanese synopsis and credits. A bright blue strip across the bottom announces a September 9 opening at Miyukiza in Tokyo's Yurakucho cinema district.

The film and this Japanese first-run flyer both date to 1989. The contrasting front and reverse capture two approaches to presenting an anthology: a shared image of New York on one side, three distinct cinematic voices on the other.

The accompanying photographs show the front, reverse and a closer view of the front. A detailed wear assessment and condition grade have not been confirmed. Please refer to the photographs for the visible condition of the paper.
