That Obscure Object of Desire (French: Cet obscur objet du désir, Spanish: Ese oscuro objeto del deseo) is a 1977 absurdist satirical comedy-drama film directed by Luis Buñuel, based on the 1898 novel The Woman and the Puppet by Pierre Louÿs. It was Buñuel's final directorial effort before his death in July 1983. Set in Spain and France against the backdrop of a terrorist insurgency, the film conveys the story told through a series of flashbacks by an aging Frenchman, Mathieu (played by Spanish actor Fernando Rey), who recounts falling in love with a beautiful young Spanish woman, Conchita (played interchangeably by two actresses, the French actress, Carole Bouquet and the Spanish actress, Ángela Molina), who repeatedly frustrates his romantic and sexual desires.
