Dog Day Afternoon Movie Barcode Poster
This is Dog Day Afternoon (1975), 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 Dog Day Afternoon for those who know it scene by scene.
A bank robbery that was supposed to take ten minutes and instead ran until dark, played almost entirely in one sweating Brooklyn afternoon. Al Pacino's Sonny is improvising in front of a crowd that keeps arriving to cheer him on, and John Cazale stands beside him saying almost nothing at all. Sidney Lumet shot it without a composed score — he thought music would give the game away — so the only thing on the soundtrack is Elton John's Amoreena over the opening, and after that just the city, the phones and the noise of a man running out of road.
Order today and you can expect delivery 25th August - 1st September.

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.
