The first thing that draws attention when looking at the poster is what seems to be a butterfly. It is actually a moth, an insect related to butterflies that has on its back what appears to be a human skull.
Fun fact: If you look closely at the human skull on the moth's back it is no other than the artwork "In voluptas mors" (Voluptuous death) by Salvador Dali.This is a surrealistic portrait that Dali made in collaboration with photographer Phillippe Halsman on 1951.
In the portrait you can see Salvador Dali beside a really macabre skull composed by 7 women. Halsman arranged the models according to a sketch made by Dali.
The poster was created by the advertising agency Dazu. The idea of using Dali's skull was given to the agency by director Jonathan Demme.
