An expressionist movie poster, dominated by a tilted blood-red rectangular panel, depicts a jagged black-and-white scene of an adult man carrying a limp adult woman across a shattered rooftop beneath a full moon, rendered in a sharp, woodcut-inspired illustration style. The background outside the panel is pitch black, roughened with white print grain and stipple, giving the whole frame the texture of coarse paper. In the upper third of the frame, a large white "TITLE" in ornate, hand-drawn serif capitals spreads across the red panel in two uneven lines, its irregular, wobbling letterforms taller in the first line and slightly smaller in the second, all tilted with the panel. The red panel itself leans a few degrees counterclockwise, its right and left edges fractured into black splinters and torn red shards that extend past the panel into the surrounding darkness. At the center of the composition, a pale adult woman in a long white gown lies limp and motionless in the arms of a tall adult man dressed entirely in black; the man has an angular, skull-like face with heavy-lidded eyes and grips her around the torso while her head and arms dangle toward a large, flat bone-white disc of a moon hanging just behind them to the right. In the lower third, the rooftops of a distorted town jut upward in sharp black planes and knife-edged angles, pierced by thin diagonal shafts of red light that rake across the buildings from the panel above. Along the bottom edge, two long parallel bands of red slant downward to the left like searchlight beams, crossed by thin black lines. In the lower-right corner, a cluster of thin black antenna-like poles and cracked beams leans outward from a broken red wall. The lighting is theatrical and graphic: the white moon glows flat and shadowless, while the black figures and buildings are cut by hard, unnatural highlights, casting long sharp-edged shadows that tilt with the panel's lean, and the red areas radiate a saturated, warning glow. At the top edge of the red panel, a row of small black and red blocks suggests a broken cornice or shattered rooftop trim. The man's black coat is rendered in solid ink with a subtle speckle, its hem lifting as if caught by wind, and the moon's flat disc carries a faint grain that echoes the poster's paper texture. Where the two red searchlight beams cross near the bottom-center, thin black contour lines slice them into segments, adding to the fractured, unstable geometry. Overall, the poster balances a dense, slanted red mass against deep black borders, its blood-red, ink-black, and bone-white palette, jagged expressionist linework, and nightmarish imagery combining into a mood of delirious, dreamlike dread.
