Pulp fiction by Laurent Durieux

The narrative elegance of a master reinterpretation artist

Laurent Durieux’s alternative movie posters are far more than graphic variations: they are true visual rewritings of cinema classics.
A Belgian illustrator celebrated for his retro-futurist style and meticulous attention to detail, Durieux transforms each film into a suspended, atmospheric tableau filled with symbolism, texture, and narrative depth.
His work captivates instantly thanks to its story-driven aesthetic — every poster offers an unexpected angle, a fresh visual reading of a film we thought we knew by heart.

A refined, unmistakable visual identity

A mastery of the line

Durieux favors precise line work, thoughtful composition, and subtle shifts in perspective. His scenes feel immersive, almost cinematic, infused with a 1950s–1970s design sensibility.

A meticulously crafted color palette

His chromatic harmonies — soft yet contrasting — create a distinctive atmospheric depth: delicate fogs, diffused lights, mysterious halos… Every shade plays a narrative role.

A respectful homage to cinema

Rather than replicating official artwork, Durieux chooses to recompose the essence of the film — highlighting a concept, a detail, a location, or a hidden layer of meaning. His posters engage both the viewer’s imagination and their memory of the film.

A rare and highly sought-after collector’s item

Durieux’s posters are typically released as limited editions, often produced using high-quality screen printing. Signed, numbered, and sometimes available in variants (standard, “variant,” foil editions, special releases), they sell out quickly and become challenging to find.
This rarity, combined with their craftsmanship, makes them coveted by:

• Cinema collectors

• Contemporary illustration enthusiasts

• Lovers of mid-century and vintage design

• Interior designers looking for standout pieces

Each poster is not only beautiful but also culturally valuable — a modern reinterpretation of the cinematic heritage of the 20th century.
