Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is issue 74 of the French specialized cinema magazine "Impact". Its cover features the film "L'Arme Fatale 4" (Lethal Weapon 4) with a color photograph of an actor in a close-up, gun in hand, typical of the promotional style of the late 1990s. The "Impact" logo appears at the top, accompanied by the number 74 to the right. The inscription "Jackie Chan / PM Entertainment / Cannes 98" is also noticeable on the upper band, suggesting editorial content related to these themes and the cinema news of the time.

The cover also includes an insert at the bottom left dedicated to the film "Sexcrimes" (Wild Things), with the tagline "L’été sera trash !" (This summer will be trashy!) and a photo of two characters. Another box announces a preview of "Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir" (The Avengers). The dominant colors are black, red, and white, which reinforce the dynamic and retro appearance of the magazine.

The magazine is stapled on the left edge, typical of magazines from this period. The overall presentation evokes the graphic style of 1990s cinema magazines, with impactful titles and a dense layout. A barcode and prices for different French-speaking countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada) are visible at the bottom right, confirming the international French-speaking distribution of this publication.

No major defects are visible on the photographed side: the cover shows no tears, no apparent stains, and no handwritten inscriptions. The corners are slightly marked but remain crisp, and the binding appears to be in good condition, with no visible detachment or snags in the photo.

The terms "vintage," "retro," and "old" are justified here by the explicit date (Cannes 98) and the typical design of the late 1990s, confirming the interest of this issue for fans of cinema archives or pop culture from this period.
