Movie poster: The Communard’s Pipe 1929

Original Soviet movie poster for The Communard’s Pipe (1929), designed by Anatoly Belsky. The film, directed by Kote Mardzhanishvili and based on a novella by Ilya Ehrenburg, tells the tragic story of a young boy caught up in the Paris Commune. The poster features the child’s portrait with a pipe, from which revolutionary scenes rise in smoke. Bold red and black design elements highlight its striking Constructivist style. A rare and powerful example of early Soviet avant-garde cinema art.
