Patrick,

I've always thought "That Obscure Object of Desire" was unjustly neglected- it's Bunuel's most refined balance between what seems almost a documentary of obsession, and a surreal situation. in which Rey doesn't apparently notice he's willing to do anything to possess a completely different person- who also toys with him mercilessly. Rey's, odd, dazed character is priceless. He's just continually stunned by his pursuit, but can't leave off.

You're correct, you have to see it more than once.

I tend to pair "Obscure Object" more with "Le Fantome de la liberte" -because of the similar theme of self-inflicted frustration.

Merci d'ecrire au sujet de ce film avec l'atmoshpere excentrique parfait. Je ne l'ai pas vu depuis 1975 et le voudrais se "recharger".

Salut,

Bambi B
