...When deciding the best movie posters of any given year, it’s important to look for just how effective a marketing image captures the spirit of the film it’s selling. The most memorable film posters don’t just visually relay information about the plot, they manage to capture the atmosphere of what it’s like to experience the films themselves. Such was the cast with the following 25 movie posters, which have been deemed the best of 2020. (Available on Indiewiere, courtesy Zack Sharf)...
Have a safe week and a pleasant Friday night at the movies,

Five years ago, Italian auteur Matteo Garrone made his English-language debut with “Tale of Tales,” a bloody, imaginative take on Italian writer Giambattista Basile’s 17th century fairy tales. The movie featured exuberant turns from John C. Reilly, Salma Hayek, and others. These days, Garrone regrets that decision. “If I could go back, I would probably make ‘Tale of Tales’ with Italian actors,” he said in a recent phone interview. “I think it’s very important to keep the cultural identity of every country in its films. This was an Italian project, taken from one of the best books of Italian fairy tales. But it looked like I was taking other actors because we don’t have good actors in Italy. This is wrong.”
