{"product_id":"big-wednesday-italian-1980s","title":"Big Wednesday, Italian Release","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Italian release for John Milius's Big Wednesday captures the elemental power that made the film a surf cinema classic. The stark black and white photographic imagery presents a massive wave curling against a dramatic sky, while three silhouetted figures stand in contemplation at its base, one surfboard raised like a monument to the sport itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Italian title, 'Un Mercoledì da Leoni,' translates to 'A Wednesday of Lions' or 'A Courageous Wednesday,' perfectly capturing the film's mythologizing of surfing's legendary big swell days. Released in the late 1970s, Big Wednesday chronicled California surf culture from the early sixties through the Vietnam era, becoming a touchstone for a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA striking example of photographic poster design that eschews illustration for raw natural drama.
