Be warned; the Amazon-sourced soft cover is an abridged version of the original hardcover English 1st edition and misses out a lot, I believe the very first print edition was in French "Derniere..." and that may even be the definitive edition to have
Nevertheless an awesome autobiography; if you knew nothing whatever of Bunuel or his work the book would rate as a great work in itself
Be doubly warned; lend this book out and you will likely never get it back (been there, done that!) What an utterly enviable life...
That Obscure Object of Desire with Fernando Rey is my personal favorite but Belle de Jour is a masterpiece too
Bunuel is right up there with the GreatsGrins
