Description

Highly influential Spanish-born filmmaker of surrealist tendencies whose Un chien andalou (1928) remains an icon of avant-garde cinema. Though he remained controversial for the duration of his career, he attained a measure of Hollywood respectability with Academy Award nominations for his screenplays for The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). Laminated Mexican firearm registration card from the Secretary of National Defense, 4.5 x 3, No. A487192, issued to "Luis Bunuel Portoles" who signs in blue ballpoint and adds his fingerprint to the right side. The reverse of the card lists the firearm as a .22 caliber buntline pistol, and is dated February 23, 1974. In fine condition.
