Enter The Void trailer

While on the film title topic...

I've seen this film a couple of times now. Recently at the Astor (needs to be seen on the big screen!). The title sequence is ridiculously dope. Much can be read about 'the making' of it online.

Dr. Stranglove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Stanley Kubrick, 1964

 

Saw this film at the Astor last night. The trailer is brilliant, as is the film. There is nothing quite like big, bold, white/black type in film titles...beautiful. I love the way the type rapidly alternates between the scenes from the film - it communicates the sense of urgency and anxiety during the imminent danger of nuclear war, in a darkly humorous way. Having just seen the film, I think it translates the essence of it really aptly.

These are the opening titles. The hand drawn typography is great. Once again - white type, which work so well when running over film sequences. It is interesting that this style of hand drawn typography is becoming so popular in graphic design at the moment...this film was made over 40 years ago and feels so contemporary. Film titles are such a rich realm of inspiration.
