La Cousine Bette (film, 1927) Magnet

This vintage-inspired design for *La Cousine Bette* (1927) captures the essence of the silent film era, reflecting the dramatic intensity of the original adaptation of Balzac's novel. Set against a backdrop of Parisian decadence, the design features intricate Art Deco motifs, with bold typography reminiscent of 1920s cinema posters. The central figure of Bette Fischer, a cunning and vengeful woman, is portrayed with a shadowy, enigmatic aura, framed by elegant floral and architectural details. The muted colour palette of deep reds, sepias, and blacks evokes the moody, emotional depth of this classic tale of jealousy and betrayal.
