  Letterboxd Photos adds a photo gallery directly to every Letterboxd film page — 
  so you can see how a film actually looks without leaving the site.
  
  
  A clean photo panel appears below the film details with two tabs:
  
  • Stills — up to 24 cinematic shots from the film, sorted by quality
  • Posters — key art in English and international versions only
  
  Navigate with the on-screen arrows or your keyboard. Click any photo to open 
  it full-screen, then switch to a grid view to browse the whole gallery at once.
  
  
  Images are fetched from TMDB (The Movie Database), the largest open movie image 
  community. Duplicates are automatically removed — no title-card versions of the 
  same frame, no 15 copies of the same poster in different languages.
