An original French film poster for Les Diaboliques, the celebrated 1955 psychological thriller directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse and Charles Vanel.

Designed by renowned French graphic artist Raymond Gid, the poster combines bold typography, expressive silhouettes and striking blocks of colour to capture the film’s dark sense of mystery and suspense. The trunk, shadowy figure and abstract water imagery reference key elements of the film’s famously unsettling story.

A striking example of 1950s French cinema and graphic design, from one of the most influential psychological thrillers of the era.
