PEOPLE
This poster includes an instantly recognisable actor - Robert De Niro. He is displayed as the only character on the poster. This could be a conveying the sense that he is the only important character in the film.
DESIGN
The design of the poster is fairly dark, but at the same time mysterious. If the viewer had never seen the film before and did know about the infamous "Russian Roulette" scene implied in the poster's image, they would probably not know why the character is holding the gun to his head. In my mind, this creates a sense of anticipation and excitement, that the viewer does not know when this scene will come at the time of the film's release.
COLOR
The poster is mostly black. However, the text and the image of Robert De Niro stand out in white. His headband stands out in Red. In my opinion, the basic colors convey a sense that the film may be grim and dark in mood.
TITLE
The title stands out in bold with a strightforward font. The white text is easier to read against the black background. In my opinion, the straightforward but bold font conveys the fact that the film has a very straightforward storyline, but is still very powerful.
OTHER INFORMATION
The poster also includes the full cast below the title. This poster does not include a tagline.
