"That Obscure Object of Desire" closes cinema cycle devoted to Buñuel

The last film by Luís Buñuel - That Obscure Object of Desire (Ese oscuro objeto del deseo) - which is considered one of his most ironic comments on desire and sexuality, will be on show at Campo Alegre cine studio, on 26th July, at 3.30pm.

This will be the last of Buñuel's films to be presented at Campo Alegre cine studio, under the cinema cycle 25x Buñuel devoted to the Spanish/Mexican director.

"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."
