"That Obscure Object of Desire"
1977
Directed by Luis Bunuel

A final masterpiece from Bunuel, in which he uses two actresses playing one role to illustrate the unfathomable nature of sexual obsession. Starring Fernando Rey, Carole Bouquet, and Angela Molina. "Triumphantly funny and wise...Bunuel creates a vision of a world as logical as a theorem, as mysterious as a dream, and as funny as a vaudeville gag" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times). French with English subtitles.  104 minutes.
