Rare Japanese flyer for the promotion of William Friedkin’s film Cruising. Released in American cinemas in February 1980, the film tells the story of a New York policeman (played by Al Pacino) infiltrated into homosexual circles and charged with tracking down a serial killer. The film was widely criticized upon its release for the very negative and violent view of the homosexual community. Al Pacino quarreled with Friedkin himself. Over time, the film became a classic and even a distorted testimony of New York nightlife a few months before the onset of AIDS.
