🖼️ Design & Features: Bold use of a giant red “Z” superimposed over black-and-white riot imagery – visually impactful. Prominent academy award win call-out in black box.
Clean, minimalist typographic treatment for title and credits. Highly collectable due to both historical significance and strong political themes.

Collectors’ Note: Australian daybills for foreign-language political thrillers are less common than their US or UK counterparts. Z is a landmark film in political cinema and a must-have for serious collectors, especially with the award win noted on the poster.
