Montana Sacra German movie posters and lobby cards
La montaña sagrada (English: The Holy Mountain) is a 1973 Mexican surreal film written, directed and produced by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The avant-garde filmmaker also played the main role.
In Germany, the film was named Montana Sacra – Der heilige Berg. Distributor Constantin-Film commissioned Peter Sickert and Dieter Noss with the poster design. For the title, they used Intrigue, outlined and with a shadow effect.
Intrigue is an octogonal sans with similarities to ITC Machine. It was shown by Lettergraphics in the late 1960s, thus predating the ITC release which came in 1970. In 2013, Pink Broccoli made Contraption. This digital interpretation of Intrigue expands the design into two widths with five weights in upright and oblique styles, plus one Inline style. Contraption Black comes closest to the original style.
Via Beardsley’s request on fontid.co. Kudos to Kevin for tracking down Contraption.
