About a Boy Movie Barcode Poster
This is About a Boy (2002), like you've never seen it before... told entirely in colour. The most prominent colour of every frame comes together to form a colour barcode of the film — a vivid portrait of its mood, light and palette from beginning to end. The film's title, year and key credits crown the piece — a love letter to About a Boy for those who know it scene by scene.
A man who lives off his father's Christmas-song royalties invents an imaginary son to meet single mothers, and gets adopted instead by a real twelve-year-old who badly needs someone. Hugh Grant plays the emptiness under the charm rather than the charm itself, and it's the best thing he's ever done. Nicholas Hoult made his name here, and Badly Drawn Boy's score does half the emotional work without ever announcing itself.

Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
