Addendum

I also adore translated foreign versions of posters, which often reveal the country's sensibility. For example, when I lived in Paris, this movie came out, with the following title:



(This translates to Lolita Despite Myself.) Which makes it seem like a movie in which she gets involved with an older man or something. My guess is that for the French audience, it was more acceptable to sexualize the then 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan.

Here's another great one, an Italian poster for one of my noir favorites, In a Lonely Place.
