A somewhat gentle man is a Norwegian dark comedy film about a man released from prison has to fit back in with his son and his new family but he struggles to be gentle. This is dark comedy as it mixes family with murder and violence.
Again, from this poster alone you would not be able to tell that this film was a comedy, which is common among dark comedy posters as it helps to remain ambiguous. This poster uses the police mug shot to clearly show this man is a criminal and therefore gives a tone to the film and the seriousness on the man's face again leads us to believe that this film is not actually a comedy. The police mug shot is something that I could consider using to represent the crime in my film.
However once again the tagline gives away the genre to the audience so that the target audience is attracted to the film. This way the audience knows the genre but also knows it isn't the most typical of comedies and therefore fits into the dark comedy genre.This man being on his own shows that he is the main character and the film is based around him only, something that could be considered when I am making my film poster.
