That Obscure Object of Desire (Ese oscuro objeto del deseo) concludes the screening of films devoted to the cycle 25x Buñuel at Theatre Campo Alegre, on 26th July, at 3.30pm. 

The producer Serge Sylberman worked with Buñuel in this film, which is considered one of his most ironic comments on desire and sexuality.

"After dumping a bucket of water on a beautiful young woman from the window of a train car, wealthy Frenchman Mathieu (Fernando Rey), regales his fellow passengers with the story of the dysfunctional relationship between himself and the young woman in question, a fiery 19-year-old flamenco dancer named Conchita (played alternately by Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina). What follows is a tale of cruelty, depravity and lies -- the very building blocks of love."
