[edit] Summary

DVD cover for the film Fists in the Pocket (Criterion #333)

[edit] Rationale for fair use for Fists in the Pocket

For an article about a film, the original poster is arguably one of the most important images that could be included.
The poster has not been found, so the next best thing is the DVD cover.
No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
The image is of lower resolution than the original DVD cover (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
The DVD cover is to suggest something of the film's genre and style.
The DVD cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
The DVD cover is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
The DVD cover's use on Wikipedia is entirely encyclopedic in nature.
