A graphic movie poster in a bold screen-print style combines a black-and-white photo collage with flat yellow, orange, and black shapes on a vivid yellow background.

Across the top of the frame, a black-and-white photographic strip shows a tight crowd of adult men and women with anxious, upturned faces, their eyes wide and mouths tense, the high-contrast grain of the print giving their skin a rough newsprint texture. The strip is cropped irregularly at its lower edge, its jagged border cutting diagonally across the yellow field. Some faces are half-hidden behind others, and a raised hand with splayed fingers appears at the strip's right edge, as if pushing through the crowd.

In the center of the poster, a large emblem of concentric irregular rings in bright orange and golden yellow radiates outward like a target. At its heart sits a stylized eye: a black almond-shaped outline with a solid black circular pupil at its center, the whole motif slightly tilted. The rings around it are uneven hand-drawn bands, alternating orange and yellow, their edges wobbling like brushstrokes. Small wedge-shaped gaps of yellow separate the orange bands at irregular intervals, and the outermost ring breaks open at the lower right, its ends tapering into sharp points.

In the lower-left quadrant, a black stencil-like line drawing shows a seated adult woman with long dark hair, her head bowed forward and her knees drawn up, one arm resting across her lap; the drawing is reduced to thick black contours and solid black shadow masses against the yellow ground, her face hidden by her hair. Bare feet are tucked beneath the seated figure, and a few stray ink strokes around the shoulders suggest trembling.

Across the very bottom of the frame, a "TITLE" in widely spaced black sans-serif capitals stretches from edge to edge, each letter separated by generous gaps. The type sits low with a wide margin of yellow above it, and its stark geometry anchors the swirling organic shapes overhead.

The lighting is flat and even, like ink on paper, with no directional shadows or highlights anywhere; the yellow ground glows uniformly and every shape sits on the surface with hard graphic edges.

Overall, the composition anchors the photographic anxiety of the crowd at the top to the hypnotic eye emblem at the center and the small crouching figure below, the palette of acid yellow, hot orange, and stark black giving the avant-garde graphic style a feverish, unsettling mood of elegant menace.
