Cabaret Movie Poster

Overview

Berlin keeps dancing while something else arrives above it. That is the film, and it is the poster.

The second poster on red fabric - a huge red swastika behind the title, its arms running off every edge

The dancer is upside down, mid-movement, and the swastika above her lets one drop fall onto her. In the second the symbol takes the whole sheet and the title sits over it. Black, white and one red.

The first poster taped to a concrete wall in dappled afternoon light
The second poster mounted on concrete, the swastika bigger than the sheet and the title white across the middle of it
