A split-design art movie poster pairs a stark cream typographic field above with a black-and-white photograph of a blood-covered adult woman in a bathtub below. The upper portion of the frame is an empty field of warm cream, flat and untextured from the top edge down past the middle, occupying the top three-fifths of the frame. The cream field shows a faint paper grain, almost imperceptible. The title's letters are a deep brick red, almost brown. At about a quarter down from the top, a large title in bold rust-red sans-serif uppercase letters reads "TITLE", centered and widely tracked. The red letters stand tall with generous space between them, flat and matte, their brick-red color the only accent in the empty field. No other text or imagery interrupts the upper field. The lower half holds a black-and-white photograph that fills the frame from edge to edge, its contrast high and its blacks rich and deep. In the lower-right area, an adult woman with dark upswept hair sits in a bathtub, her head bowed and her eyes closed. Her shoulders are hunched slightly forward. The woman's dark hair is piled high, a few strands escaping at her temple. Her expression is calm and inward, lips softly closed, her chin tilted slightly downward toward her chest. A curved metal bathtub rim crosses the frame behind her shoulders, thick and rounded like an old clawfoot tub, its surface worn and matte gray, showing scratches and a dull patina. Her bare shoulders, upper arms, and chest are streaked and spattered with bright crimson blood, rendered in full color over the monochrome photograph. The blood glistens wetly, running in thin rivulets down her skin and darkening as the streaks run down her arms, and droplets of blood bead on her collarbones. In the lower-left corner, the tub's inner wall curves away into soft-focus gray. The background behind the tub fades to featureless gray. A faint vertical seam runs down the cream field near the right edge. The lighting is flat and even across the cream typographic field, while the photograph below is lit by soft frontal light that models the woman's face and lets the wet crimson blood shine against the gray tones. Overall, the composition splits cleanly between the severe red-on-cream typography above and the stark photographic image below, using a restrained palette of cream, gray, and arterial crimson in a minimalist art-house style with a somber, ritualistic mood.
