Like all good tragic heroes in America today, Mike Tyson's documentary hits the screen April 24 2009. James Toback’s Tyson, appears to be an inventive retrospect of one of the most famous sports personalities of all time. An icon of boxing, "Iron" Mike Tyson's roller coaster life has always been center stage in the media, it will be interesting to see if this film meets the hype.
I find the the poster's art direction particularly interesting and intelligent. The overall tone feels insightful, even poetic. The softer aesthetic nearly makes the portrait of Tyson appear wise, something that no other media outlet has done. While I have a distaste for the serif typeface "Tyson" is set in, I'll always back a movie poster featuring someone with face tattoos.
