The Legend of 1900

A Japanese B5 movie flyer for the 4K digital restoration and Italian complete edition of Giuseppe Tornatore’s 1998 film The Legend of 1900. This version belongs to a later Japanese release context, with a flyer issue year of c. 2020 (estimated), rather than the film’s 1999 Japanese first-run promotion.

At the top of this Japanese flyer, Tim Roth, dressed in a white dinner jacket, is raised above a crowd of passengers, his arms outstretched. The large white Japanese title, 海の上のピアニスト, sits against a blue field, with the yellow line “4Kデジタル修復版＆イタリア完全版” identifying the two editions.

Below, the young 1900 stands with his back to the viewer before illuminated glass doors. The credits name Giuseppe Tornatore, Ennio Morricone and Tim Roth, and distinguish a 121-minute 4K restoration from a 170-minute Italian complete version.

Only the front is documented. This flyer's issue year is c. 2020 (estimated), inferred from the Japanese 4K restoration release context. No printing or screening date is visible.
