The Sheltering Sky Kit (Debra Winger) Port (John Malkovich) Passport Props
The Sheltering Sky Kit (Debra Winger) Port (John Malkovich) Passport Props - One of Italy's greatest director's, Bernardo Bertolucci, blew the lid off all cinema convention with every film he made. A true revolutionist, his films explode with passion, politics, intimate and vivid sex, and especially the sense of an endless journey for truth, redemption or simply to feel alive. One of his most popular and successful films was "The Sheltering Sky" (1990), based on the best selling autobiographical novel of Paul Bowles, and starring Debra Winger and John Malkovich as a married artist couple who begin a seemingly aimless journey through Africa in order to help their relationship, only to find despair and way too much truth about each other. This beautifully photographed and mesmerizing award-winning classic either inspired or shocked its audience, yet ironically caused a massive exodus to Africa for scores of adventurers who, inspired by the film, also tried to find some kind of answer to life! Of course the most iconic props of the film are the couple's passports, which represent the driving force, as well as the key to open up their journey. It is rare to have such special props available for a collection. These "United States Passports" are extremely realistic and detailed, because of their important use in the film. These are the actual hero screen used passports of "Kit Moresby" (Debra Winger), and Port Moresby (John Malkovich). They are carefully crafted with description of bearer, official seals, passport photos (with stamp), and a series of fascinating stamps that show their extensive journey through the world so far. They come from the personal collection of legendary prop master Pasquale Avvisato who was a prop master on the production.
