The Many Faces of Rosemary’s Baby
On the 45th anniversary of the premiere of Roman Polański’s Rosemary’s Baby, Culture.pl offers this collection of the film’s posters from around the world. From the demonic hand featured on the Polish poster to the baby carriage ominously silhouetted on the German advertisement, Rosemary’s Baby has assumed a multitude of faces over the years – many of them as unnerving as the iconic film itself.
