Description
A vintage movie poster from Spain of"La Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo" (1973) is a Spanish-language Italian-Spanish-French-Cameroonian adventure film adapted from Jules Verne's 1875 novel "L'Île mystérieuse" (The Mysterious Island). The film was directed by Juan Antonio Bardem and Henri Colpi, and it starred the Egyptian actor Omar Sharif as Captain Nemo.
The story centers on a group of escaped prisoners who, traveling in a hot air balloon, are forced to land on a remote island where they must struggle to survive. They encounter a castaway, pirates, and Captain Nemo, who uses a variety of scientific gadgets to keep strangers off his island.
This production was unique in that it was either a TV movie or a TV mini-series, depending on where it was broadcast. The film, which had a runtime of 120 minutes, was a joint production between Spain, France, Italy, and Cameroon, showcasing a diverse international collaboration.
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.
