Help identify film poster?

Can anyone tell me which film this is (part of) the poster for?

(It's an Ecolab large messenger bag -- I have the smaller version already and adore it! -- and was the last remaining one in John Lewis, reduced from £80 to £29: it's lost its little 'this bag was once a movie poster for ________' card.)


Solved! -- thanks [livejournal.com profile] madcatwoman and [livejournal.com profile] bookzombie. Truly all knowledge is contained on LJ. It's Nanny McPhee (which I completely missed, though it's allegedly based on the Nurse Mathilda books)

BBC NEWS | Magazine | What pop music tells us about JG Ballard

His science fiction of the almost-normal - based around suburbia and urban hinterlands, fixations on celebrity and car crashes - became best known through the film Crash, and the surreal semi-autobiography Empire of the Sun.
But his feverish imagination, stoked by pre-lunch whisky and sodas in his study, found an unlikely appeal among pop musicians - many of whom liked to invoke a bit of Ballard in their work.
