A striking design features on this Polish poster for the domestic release of At Your Own Request (opens in a new tab) (originally titled Na Wlasna Prosbe). The film was co-directed by husband and wife Ewa Petelska (opens in a new tab) and Czeslaw Petelski (opens in a new tab), both of whom have since passed away. It must have been granted a release overseas, given that it has an English-language title, but I can find no evidence of which markets it appeared in. It’s fair to say that it’s a little-seen film, especially going by the lack of any user reviews on IMDb (opens in a new tab) but it does have a plot description:

The story is of an engineer in conflict with his superior. He won’t go along with the usual corruption and conformity. He is left to himself amid indifference and ineptitude by his fellow workers and the management.

It doesn’t exactly sound like the most thrilling of dramas but at least this poster is interesting!

This poster was designed and illustrated by Andrzej Pagowski (opens in a new tab), a prolific film poster artist who was born in Warsaw in 1953 and studied at the celebrated University of Fine Arts in Poznań, graduating in 1978 under the tutorship of the noted artist Waldemar Świerzy (opens in a new tab). In 1990 he started his own graphic design studio called Studio P, which he developed into an advertising agency by 1993. According to the biography on his official site (opens in a new tab), Pagowski has illustrated over 1000 posters during his career and has also done work for books, magazines and music covers. In addition, he is also a TV and theatre stage designer and a screen writer. Undoubtedly a man of many talents! His official site features an extensive gallery of his work (opens in a new tab), including several of the posters. Polishposter.com also features multiple pages worth (opens in a new tab) of his movie posters and this culture.pl article (opens in a new tab) is well worth a read too.
