This example, issued for the 1974 Japanese rerelease of \u003cem\u003eCasablanca\u003c\/em\u003e, arrives thirty-one years after the film's original 1943 run, at a moment when Bogart and Bergman had long since passed from popular entertainment into something closer to mythology. The Japanese market understood the film differently — as pure image, pure atmosphere — and the chirashi reflects that: compressed, graphic, the iconography of the film rendered for a culture that received Hollywood not as product but as foreign poetry. The black frame holds it at exactly the right distance. A document of a document. Cinema remembered by another cinema.
