Zardoz-A Rare Original Vintage Belgian Movie Poster of John Boorman's Strange Future Fantasy with Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling, and Charlotte Kestelman.

Beyond 1984, Beyond 2001, Beyond Love, Beyond Death, It's the year of our Lord 2293.

Zardoz, an unseen "God" speaks through a large stone statue of a head that floats in the Sky. Zardoz leads a barbaric race called the Brutals, who tramp around living a harsh existence in the Outlands. Stay with me it gets better...or worse. Zardoz tells The Brutals that once they die, they'll be transported to the Vortex, where they'll live happily ever after. The Zardoz philosophy is that killing is good, and procreation is bad.

In reality, Zardoz is magician Arthur Frayn, from another more "advanced" race, called The Eternals, who live in a paradise called the Vortex. The Eternals are immortal as they do not age and their bodies undergo reconstruction if they "die". They do not believe in procreation as their society has reached a perfect equilibrium.

Sound Confusing and incomprehensible? It is... but this is not our fever dream, this is John Boorman's. Sit back, relax and give in to the strangeness of Zardoz then watch Sean Connery ride bareback in nothing but a red pair of captain underpants into the sunset!

CONDITION: This poster grades "VERY FINE" with vibrant color and gloss and minor edge wear. This is a rare and amazing find in nice shape, remarkable as it was printed over 48 years ago. Please note some edgewear on the left edge and the white border (See Photo detail). Lithographs with light creasing at folds are common for posters of this age as they were mailed to theaters folded. This wonderfully psychedelic and colorful poster will look absolutely incredible framed!

Please refer to the Photo detail and the grading status in the "9-GRADE" System graphs in the photo log. Magnets were used in the photography of these posters so as to limit handling and wear. These magnets are silver and visible in photographs in each of the poster's (4) corners.

Please Note: These Posters are anywhere from 20-70 years old and were issued to movie theaters at the time of the film's release. All Posters came through Auction, Gallery purchase, or from the original movie theater proprietors. Although all posters are stored FLAT and carefully maintained, original poster art of this age can never be in perfect unused condition as it was originally displayed in a Movie Theater.

Any Folds, Tears, or Pinholes are detailed in the notes and close-up pictures. Any glare in the image is due to the camera angle and is not a defect in the poster.

There are NO REFUNDS, RETURNS, or EXCHANGE on the sale of original movie posters. Given the age and fragility of these vintage posters, it’s not possible to offer refunds after the poster has been shipped and handled. We've gone to great lengths to detail in notes and photographs the specifics of each poster's condition and individual attributes. Don't hesitate to contact us through Etsy if you have additional questions. We want you to make your purchase with complete confidence.

The purchase of original, vintage movie posters is an investment in poster art and movie history. Please consider your purchase carefully to plan display and/or storage options once you receive your poster.
