Spiral (ねじ式)

A Japanese B5 movie flyer issued in 1998 for Spiral (Neji-shiki), Teruo Ishii’s 1998 film adapted from Yoshiharu Tsuge’s manga and starring Tadanobu Asano. This double-sided flyer pairs a vividly colored portrait with a densely illustrated reverse.

A large white NEJI-SHIKI title cuts across a magenta field, above a green-tinted portrait of Tadanobu Asano. Beside him stands a smaller drawn figure; bands of blue water and yellow fill the lower edge. The combination of live-action portraiture and cartoon linework gives the front a distinctly unsettled rhythm.

The reverse changes register completely: purple-framed photographs, comic-style speech balloons, and dense columns of Japanese commentary form a compact reading page. An orange strip at the foot carries screening details for BOX Higashinakano. Both sides belong to the same flyer, shifting from striking image to close-packed information.
