‘Brothers’ poster debuts

Posted by Guy Lodge · 10:35 am · July 10th, 2009

I mentioned last week that I wasn’t entirely sold on the trailer for Jim Sheridan’s remake of the Susanne Bier drama “Brothers,” which played a little too shrill and on-the-nose for my liking. I have no such issues, however, with this superb poster: elegant, unusual and one of the few one-sheets I’ve seen lately that uses composition to intelligent thematic effect. Brownie points to all involved.

    Yeah, Kris has been enjoying some well-deserved time off. He’ll be back this weekend.

    Natalie Portman suggestively leaning on Tobey Maguire cannot be any less arousing
