CET OBSCUR OBJET DU DSIR (THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE) [BLU-RAY + DVD] (DVD IN FRENCH ONLY)

Details

• Release Year: 1977
• Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
• Plot: Luis Bunuel's final film explodes with eroticism bringing full circle to the director's lifelong preoccupation with the darker side of desire. Bunuel regular Fernando Rey plays Matthieu an urbane widower tortured by his lust for the elusive Conchita. With subversive flare Bunuel uses two different actresses in the lead role- Carole Bouquet a sophisticated French beauty and Angela Molina a Spanish coquette. Drawn from Pierre Louys' 1898 novel La Femme et le Pantin That Obscure Object of Desire is a dizzying game of sexual politics punctuated by a terror that harkens back to Bunuels brilliant surrealistic beginnings.
