Every year, the poster of the Cannes Film Festival arouses a particular anticipation, captivating the collective imagination around glamour, cinematic art and world cinema icons. For 2025, LoBO GraphiK imagined an original creation that pays tribute to a must-see figure in French cinema: Jeanne Moreau.
Inspired by the legend of cinema, this black and white poster draws its aesthetics from La Baie des Anges (1963) by Jacques Demy. The image depicts Jeanne Moreau in an iconic pose, leaning on the table of a casino roulette, a cigarette lit in the right hand, his look slightly turned towards the lens. The scene evokes an atmosphere of mystery and sensuality, perfectly captured by the elegant and sleek photograph of the film.
A bold and modern composition
The poster is distinguished by an original and contemporary typography that balances the retro aspect of the film with a touch of modernity. The choice of clean lines and transparency in the police, always black, reinforces the visual contrast while highlighting Jeanne Moreau's central image.
In the centre, a monumental number 7 appears large on the left side, covering the corner of the poster and extending to the margin, symbolizing the elegance and intensity of the casino universe. On the right, an 8 cut by the edge of the poster reinforces the visual effect by encircling the actress's face. This unique typographical choice places the gaze of Jeanne Moreau between the two digits, creating a dynamic composition where his face is in perfect symbiosis with all the design.
The intention behind the poster
This poster, while waiting for the official version, is an invitation to dive into Jeanne Moreau's film world, while celebrating the grandeur of the Cannes Film Festival. The contrast between the geometric rigor of the numbers and the fluidity of the image of the actress creates a visual tension that captures attention while emphasizing the elegance of the subject.
The figures, with their impressive size, are more than just a graphic choice: they echo the universe of casino, gambling and chance, themes dear to the Bay of Angels, while adding a contemporary and bold dimension to the poster.
The poster LoBO GraphiK, which pays tribute to Jeanne Moreau, is a visual art work that merges cinema, graphic design and modernity. It perfectly prefigures what the Cannes 2025 Festival will be, waiting for the official poster to be unveiled. A creation that, by its simplicity and power, is already a moving and elegant tribute to one of the greatest French actresses.
