Prompt

Create a vintage French New Wave political cinema poster as a torn-paper collage, vertical one-sheet composition, aged and distressed like a weathered 1968 street poster pasted on a wall. Use a limited palette of cream paper, faded black, deep red, mustard yellow, and muted cobalt blue, with heavy analog film grain, halftone print texture, ink bleed, fold creases, scratches, rough paper fibers, ripped edges, glue stains, and slightly misregistered letterpress typography. In the center, place a large black-and-white portrait of a brooding young man in a dark coat, seen in three-quarter profile, cropped from chest up, with curly dark hair and his face partially obscured by a rectangular censor-like paper block, giving the image a mysterious art-house feel.

Across the very top, centered in narrow black capitals, add the tagline “NOT EVERY REVOLUTION IS TELEVISED.” Near the lower middle, in small black condensed type, add “A FILM BY {argument name="director name" default="JEAN-PIERRE LEMAIRE"}”. Make the main title dominate the lower half in huge condensed red uppercase letters over torn cream paper: “{argument name="French title" default="L’HOMME QUI RÊVAIT"}”. Directly underneath, in smaller blue condensed capitals, add the English subtitle “{argument name="English subtitle" default="THE MAN WHO DREAMED"}”. At the bottom center, place a black strip with large white condensed capitals reading “COMING SOON”, and below it smaller text “ÉTÉ 1968”. In the bo...
