That Obscure Object of Desire is a 1977 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, who recounts falling in love with a beautiful young Spanish woman, Conchita, who repeatedly frustrates his romantic and sexual desires.
