An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Video Rental Store Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

The Matrix, the 1999 Andy Wachowski & Larry Wachowski (billed as "The Wachowski Brothers") U.S./Australian computers-take-over-the-world science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future fantasy action adventure thriller ("Be Afraid of the Future"; "Free your mind."; "Believe the unbelievable") starring Keanu Reeves (as Neo), Laurence Fishburne (as Morpheus), Carrie-Anne Moss (as Trinity), Hugo Weaving (as Agent Smith), Joe Pantoliano (as Cypher), and Gloria Foster (as the Oracle). Note that since this film was made, both of the Wachowski siblings have become openly transgender women. However, they were known as the "The Wachowski Brothers" when this film was released, and we refer to them as such in this description.

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. Note that this is one of a large group of one-sheets we were consigned, which were all linenbacked by the same restorer. They are all posters from the 1970s to present, and they were simply mounted onto a very thin linen backing, with approximately 2" of excess linen left of on all four sides of the poster. We are not really sure what purpose the backing served, because the posters had little wrong with them to begin with (and the restorer simply backed them without performing restoration), and the restorer left more excess linen than is normal, but some or all of it could easily be trimmed off. Note that in the case of this particular poster, the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the bottom corners (but it could be easily re-attached by a professional or a talented amateur).
