## Prompt

```text
Create a vintage French New Wave political cinema poster as a torn-paper collage, vertical one-sheet composition, aged and distressed like a weathered 1968 street poster pasted on a wall. Use a limited palette of cream paper, faded black, deep red, mustard yellow, and muted cobalt blue, with heavy analog film grain, halftone print texture, ink bleed, fold creases, scratches, rough paper fibers, ripped edges, glue stains, and slightly misregistered letterpress typography. In the center, place a large black-and-white portrait of a brooding young man in a dark coat, seen in three-quarter profile, cropped from chest up, with curly dark hair and his face partially obscured by a rectangular censor-like paper block, giving the image a mysterious art-house feel. Surround the portrait with torn collage fragments: at upper left, a red paper panel with a black silhouette of a running protester; beneath it, a narrow off-white text strip reading “PARIS, MAI 68” and smaller French copy “LES MURS ONT DES OREILLES, L’AVENIR AUSSI.”; along the far left edge, a vertical black film-strip border with “36 KODAK TRI-X PAN FILM” in white; at lower left, a mustard-yellow torn panel with a cropped dark silhouette portrait; at upper right, a blue torn panel containing the quote “UN FILM COUP DE POING ET DE POÉSIE.” with “— CAHIERS DU CINÉMA” below; directly below that, a tall black-and-white photo fragment of a lone figure walking down a wet Paris street at night under lampposts; near the middle-right, a small torn newsprint block with the French slogan “LA BEAUTÉ EST DANS LA RUE” above a crowd scene; at lower right, a red torn panel with a black silhouette of a domed Paris landmark. Across the very top, centered in narrow black capitals, add the tagline “NOT EVERY REVOLUTION IS TELEVISED.” Near the lower middle, in small black condensed type, add “A FILM BY {director_name}”. Make the main title dominate the lower half in huge condensed red uppercase letters over torn cream paper: “{french_title}”. Directly underneath, in smaller blue condensed capitals, add the English subtitle “{english_subtitle}”. At the bottom center, place a black strip with large white condensed capitals reading “COMING SOON”, and below it smaller text “ÉTÉ 1968”. In the bottom left corner, include a Cannes-style laurel mark with “SÉLECTION OFFICIELLE FESTIVAL DE CANNES 1968”. In the bottom right corner, add tiny production credits in French, including “UNE PRODUCTION LES FILMS DU SOLEIL DISTRIBUTION”. Keep the whole design asymmetrical, raw, rebellious, and elegant, evoking Godard, Truffaut, May 1968 protest graphics, and handmade French art-house poster collage.
