Description

This issue of the specialized magazine "STARFIX" is a French cinema magazine, here in its N°84 edition, as indicated on the cover. The cover visual features a color photograph of a blonde woman with heavy makeup, dressed in a bright pink dress, related to the film "Cry Baby" mentioned on the cover. STARFIX's typical graphic design, recognizable by its vertical titling and touches of green, evokes the aesthetic of cinema magazines from the late 80s/early 90s.

The cover highlights the special feature "Cannes 90" with the mentions "Before, during, after" and "The Guide," indicating content focused on the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. Several themes are featured: an article on the cult film "Cry Baby" starring Traci Lords, a sneak preview section on cinematic events in the United States for the summer, as well as features on directors Eastwood, Lynch, Kurosawa, and Fellini, whose names are displayed at the bottom of the cover.

The magazine features a rectangular layout with an exposed perfect binding, a typical format for specialized cinema press of that period. The dominant colors are black, pink, and touches of green. The layout is dynamic, alternating capitalized titles and colored boxes. The barcode and the reference "M 2654 - 84 - 28.00 F" are visible at the bottom right, attesting to the original edition and the price in French francs.

The visible surface of the cover appears to be in very good condition, with a slight reflection but no apparent signs of creases, stains, or tears. The corners are crisp, and the visible spine shows no significant deformation. No handwritten annotations or major defects appear on the photographed part.

This STARFIX magazine is a valuable resource for cinema documentation, vintage iconography, and research on major directors or international festivals. It is part of the retro trend of late 20th-century publications, offering a historical record of cinematic news from that era.
