ミスター・ウー
1927
Lon Chaney, Hollywood's original master of makeup, glares out from this bold 1927 poster for the silent film *Mr. Wu*. Known as the 'Man of a Thousand Faces,' Chaney transforms here into a Chinese mandarin, rendered in striking blocks of yellow and green against a deep black void. This Swedish release poster uses a graphic, almost Art Deco style to emphasize the character's intensity and the film's dramatic weight. It’s a fascinating snapshot of 1920s cinema marketing, capturing the era's fascination with exoticism and Chaney's unparalleled ability to disappear into a role.
