HELGA
Dalla sfera intimissima di una giovane Donna' (
From the very intimate sphere of a young woman)
. This was a Film documentary with a Poster that is very visually captivating.
(Original German title,
Helga – Vom Werden des menschlichen Lebens
) (UK/USA: Helga – On the Origins of Human Life, On the development of human life) was a
1967
West German sex education documentary and the first film of the Helga trilogy, starring Ruth Gassmann as Helga. Its release in West Germany was followed by international releases to many European countries, the British Commonwealth and the United States. It became one of the greatest box-office successes of West German cinema, viewed by forty million people in West Germany and internationally. In the first months of its showing in West Germany the audience had reached four million people.
The film featured scenes of childbirth which were the first to be shown publicly in Germany. Helga was the first in a series of educational films which were considered "relatively permissive" at the time. The film was considered a part of an "enlightenment wave" which was undertaken by the West German Federal government at the time. In 1968, in France, the film was viewed by five million people. In Grenoble alone it is reported that 60,000 viewers had seen it in the first days of its screening, out of a population of 150,000. In Tours, the film played to full-houses for three consecutive weeks. The film used animation, stock footage and microphotography to depict the stages of life from conception to childbirth.
This Poster is another fine example of Italian Cinema Advertising. More often than not, these Posters are not about the Film (for me) but the Art, the interpretation of the Artist. The Artist's Hand and brushstrokes- A painting (or Foto in this case)! These italian artists are historically great Masters! These are collectable as Art. Framing instantly adds value, Wow, and Beauty.
