The “Close-Up” poster presents a nostalgic, striking visual composition. At the top, the Persian title is displayed in bold, geometric typography set against a warm reddish-orange background. Just beneath it, the phrase “MADE IN IRAN” highlights the cultural origin of the work.

At the center, a blurred, distorted image shows a person holding a bouquet of vivid red flowers. The soft, wavy visual effects create a poetic, almost surreal atmosphere, drawing the viewer’s attention toward the vibrant blossoms extending into the foreground. This visual exaggeration introduces a compelling tension between reality and imagination, bringing us closer to the film’s introspective narrative tone. The bright, warm background combined with curved lines evokes a sense of motion and the passage of time, while also creating a calm, contemplative mood.

Toward the bottom, the design displays the film’s English title “CLOSE-UP,” the year 1990, and the text “A FILM BY ABBAS KIAROSTAMI.” This simple, print-style layout contributes to the poster’s clean balance and cohesive structure.

With its vintage textures and muted tones, the poster recalls the charm of classic archival prints, making it an appealing choice for fans of art-house cinema and retro-styled film posters.
