Cet obscur objet du désir (1977)







A middle-aged bourgeois falls for a young woman, who alternately tempts and rejects him.

Bunuel's final work is an ingenious and very ironic variation on amour fou and the femme fatale. He famously added an additional irritation to the story by casting the female lead with two beautiful actresses: Angela Molina and Carole Bouquet.
