### Authenticity Assessment

This looks very convincing as an **original theatrical issue**, not a later reproduction.

The evidence visible in your photographs includes the original **Sony Pictures Classics** distributor branding, full theatrical billing block, MPAA **R-rating box**, Dolby Stereo theatrical mark, 1994 Sony copyright line, period-correct 27 × 40 one-sheet proportions, and artwork matching the documented 1994 campaign. The red/yellow Art Nouveau-style composition with Albert Finney is also the recognized theatrical design.

I would list this as **Original U.S. Theatrical One-Sheet** with high confidence.

### Condition

This copy presents very well overall. The red and yellow colors are still exceptionally vibrant and the central image area is clean.

From your close-ups I can see **minor edge wear**, slight waviness/handling around the borders, and a few tiny surface/edge imperfections. I do not see major tears, paper loss, heavy creasing, or folds.

I would describe it as:

**Very Fine condition. Original rolled poster with vibrant color and a clean central image area. Minor edge wear, slight handling/waviness and small age-related imperfections are present. No major tears, folding or significant paper loss observed. Please review all photographs as they show the actual poster offered.**

I would avoid calling this Near Mint because those edge irregularities are visible.

### Customer-Facing Description
