That Obscure Object of Desire
Adapted from Pierre Louys’ 1898 novel ‘Le Femme et le Pantin’, this is Bunuel’s final film. Recounted in flashback to a group of railway travellers, the story wryly details the romantic perils of Mathieu (Bunuel favourite Fernando Rey), a wealthy middle-aged French sophisticate who falls desperately in love with his 19-year-old former chambermaid Conchita (played by both Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina). Thus begins a surreal game of sexual cat-and-mouse, with Mathieu obsessively attempting to win the girl’s affections as she manipulates his carnal desires, each vying to gain absolute control of the other. Brimming with the subversive wit which characterises Bunuel’s finest work, THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE takes satiric aim at a decadent, decaying society riddled with political unrest and moral bankruptcy. Nominated for two Academy Awards, it is an apt summation of the director’s obsession with the connection between sex and violence and a fitting epitaph to a remarkable career.
