Lucky we don't have the same taste.
I like the Italiano BV, and I know a few others who do too.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Question about Italian Poster for Blue Velvet by David Lynch

I believe it is just pure sleazy exploitation of the highest (or indeed 
lowest) order.  Rossellini's character is quite brutalised in the film, 
but not in the way the poster suggests.

I have always wondered who would ever want that poster - certainly not 
something I would want on my wall!  I think the British Quad is the 
nicest piece on the film, FWIW.
