Description
A vintage movie poster from Spain of ''Divorce His, Divorce Hers'', a 1973 television movie directed by Waris Hussein. The film stars Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, two legendary Hollywood actors who were also married to each other at the time. This movie marked their final on-screen collaboration as a couple.
The story revolves around the tumultuous relationship between Martin Reynolds (played by Richard Burton) and Jane Reynolds (played by Elizabeth Taylor), who have been married for 18 years. The film explores their troubled marriage and the complex emotions and conflicts that arise as they decide to divorce. Martin and Jane are both depicted as strong-willed individuals with their own flaws and insecurities.
The movie is unique in that it presents the story from two perspectives: "Divorce His" and "Divorce Hers." This means that viewers get to see the same events from both Martin's and Jane's points of view, shedding light on their differing perceptions and feelings.
As the film progresses, it delves into the past of the couple, revealing their history and the events that have led to their decision to part ways. Their relationship is further complicated by the presence of their grown-up children, friends, and legal advisors who offer their own perspectives on the divorce.
"Divorce His, Divorce Hers" explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of long-term relationships. It provides a character-driven examination of a marriage in crisis, with Burton and Taylor delivering powerful performances as a couple struggling to come to terms with the end of their union.
While the film may not be as well-known as some of the other works by Burton and Taylor, it remains a noteworthy entry in their filmography, primarily due to their real-life relationship and their ability to bring depth and authenticity to the roles they played.
About the artist:
Francisco Fernández-Zarza Pérez (1922, Madrid – May 12, 1992), better known as "Jano," was a Spanish film poster artist, one of the most highly regarded of his time along with Soligó and Macario Quibus, aka "Mac."
The large number of artworks created by Fernando Zarza, known as "Jano," makes it complex to define the unitary aspects of his style. Lively, dynamic, and with intricate compositions, Jano is one of the favorite designers in the panorama of Spanish cinema. He created movie posters that are realistic and photographic and others more caricatured; he realized sensual female portraits but also conceptual images, characterized by few elements and characters.
What strikes you when you look at one of his works is the feeling of movement, dynamism, the vitality of his compositions. Scenes, settings, and protagonists fit together following different directives and vanishing points. The chaos of elements and colors makes Jano's posters a loud set of faces. But in this chaos, there is life, true action.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, Jano worked as an illustrator for Republican magazines, which caused him to be imprisoned. In the 1950s, he worked as a comic book cover artist for publishers such as "Dollar." However, his skill in film advertising made him the preferred poster artist for many Spanish studios.
In 2006, Montserrat published a book featuring 221 actors painted by Jano. In 2014, an exhibition was held in his honor titled "Jano Movie Faces, 20 Posters to Remember". He also taught painting courses at the University of Madrid.
