Drama posters span a wider range than almost any other genre, from intimate character studies to war films to social realism, which meant studios and distributors worldwide commissioned very different visual approaches for the same material. Eastern European releases, particularly from Poland and Hungary, became a category unto themselves: state-funded print shops gave designers unusual creative latitude, and the results often look nothing like their Hollywood counterparts. Period originals from this tradition are among the most artistically ambitious film posters ever made.
