Description
"Document Z-3" is an Italian spy film from 1942 directed by Alfredo Guarini. The movie stars Isa Miranda, Claudio Gora, and Luis Hurtado. This film was significant for helping to re-establish Miranda in Italian cinema after an unsuccessful period in Hollywood. However, many critics felt that she had not regained the spontaneity of her earlier work. Notably, "Document Z-3" is considered the first film on which the renowned director Federico Fellini worked as a screenwriter.
About the poster artist:
Sergio Gargiulo was an Italian painter and poster artist. In the 1930s he was commissioned by MGM to do publicity portraits of some of its leading stars.
Gargiulo's art has an extremely personal and recognizable style. The focus of the designer, in fact, falls precisely on faces: there is no setting or scenery; gazes and facial expressions are enough to connote the story. The focus of this artist is on portraits and the plot becomes secondary, preferring a simple and minimal graphic composition.
In this stylistic choice, Gargiulo favors clean, graphic lines and the use of iridescent and bright colors to create luminous effects on the face. The movie stars occupy the space entirely, carving out a space in fanciful spots, clouds, or squares. In some cases, Gargiulo chooses interesting monochrome shades of gray or shades of bronze, giving the characters the noble status of sculpture. Gargiulo's artworks are sculptural portraits.
