This morning, we’ve got a collection of posters for your viewing pleasure. Without further ado (because they’re posters and how much ado do they require), let’s get to it by starting off with a couple films that are making waves at Cannes.

The Lobster

Put these down for a couple of the best posters of the year. Yorgos Lanthimos’ film about people longing to find love is perfectly and cleverly conveyed in these distinct posters.

Here’s the official synopsis:

An unconventional love story set in a dystopian near future where single people, according to the rules of the Town, are arrested and transferred to the Hotel.  There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days.  If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released in the woods.  A desperate man escapes from the Hotel to the woods where the Loners live and there he falls in love although it’s against the rules.

Youth

Moving on, there’s the Cannes poster for Youth, the new film from Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) starring Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel. They’re in this poster, and they were not the first thing you noticed.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Fred and Mick, two old friends approaching their eighties, are enjoying a vacation in a lovely hotel in the foothills of the Alps. Fred, a retired composer and conductor, has no intention of returning to his music career which he dropped a long time ago, while Mick, a director, is still working, hurrying to finish the screenplay of his latest film. Both friends know that their days are numbered and decide to face their future together. But unlike them, no one else seems worried about the passing of time…

Adam Jones

Then we come to what will surely go down as one of 2015’s most boring and uncreative posters. All it tells you is that Bradley Cooper is playing a chef (note the stylish smock) and his character’s name is “Adam Jones”. Here’s the real marketing: Bradley Cooper has four Oscar nominations and starred in the highest grossing movie of last year. He’s handsome, he’s bankable, and I guess that’s all you really need to know.

Adam Jones opens October 2nd and also stars Sienna Miller, Emma Thompson, Daniel Brühl, Jamie Dornan, Alicia Vikander, Uma Thurman, and Lily James.

Pawn Sacrifice

Bobby Fischer’s mind exploded with chess moves, and this graphic is actually more inventive than anything you’ll see in the movie, which is pretty bland and forgettable. But hey, Fischer was a tortured genius, and would be slightly more sympathetic if he wasn’t a raging douchenozzle.

Pawn Sacrifice opens September 18th and stars Tobey Maguire, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Liev Schreiber.

Here’s the official synopsis:

In a gripping true story set during the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire. Also starring Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard, PAWN SACRIFICE chronicles Fischer's terrifying struggles with genius and madness, and the rise and fall of a kid from Brooklyn who captured the imagination of the world.
