That Obscure Object of Desire (French: Cet obscur objet du désir; Spanish: Ese oscuro objeto del deseo) is a 1977 film directed by the auteur Luis Buñuel. It depicts an unrequited May to December courtship taking place in Spain and France amid a backdrop of terrorist insurgency. Written by Buñuel himself with long-time collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière, it is based on a French book by Pierre Louÿs entitled La Femme et le pantin, although many changes were made for the screenplay.
