If you follow the story of Precious you can really see how this artist captured this characters essence. Even though this isn't a Saul Bass original I really like it. The brokenness of the body represent to me a person who feels battered but not broken, heroic but mortal. Someone who is susceptible to pain yet knows she must go on. I think out of all of Bass's work this poster speaks volumes. Sometimes simplicity can be more powerful than over-theatrics. This design is a great example of that.
