Cannes 2014 Poster; Poster for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival — collider.com

The Cannes Film Festival unveiled this year’s poster today in Paris. Conceived by Hervé Chigioni and graphic designer Gilles Frappier of the Lagency creative studio, the poster features Marcello Mastroianni based on a photogram taken from Federico Fellini‘s 8 1/2, which starred Mastroianni and was presented in the festival’s Official Selection in 1963. The Oscar-nominated Italian actor, who passed away in 1996, was cast in many of Fellini’s film, including La Dolce Vita. He was the perfect actor to play the director’s complex, tortured leading men. His final film, Manoel de Oliveira‘s Voyage to the Beginning of the World, was released in 1997.  Hit the jump for more.
