Living in a city beset by endless rain and a mysterious new disease, a lonely single man forms a curious bond with his neighbor through a hole in the floor of his crumbling apartment.

In his final feature film, Spanish auteur Luis Buñuel illuminates the essential mysteries of love and desire in the story of Mathieu Faber (Buñuel regular Fernando Rey) and his quixotic passion for the fiery young flamenco dancer Conchita—portrayed, in a tour-de-force of surrealist casting, by both Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina. Nominated for countless awards and accolades, That Obscure Object of Desire is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.
