object of desire
The New Beverly Cinema presents a special double feature of two films by the arthouse auteur Luis Buñuel.

35mm. France. 1972. Surrealist comedy, 96 min
That Obscure Object of Desire
After dumping a bucket of water on a beautiful young woman from the window of a train, wealthy Frenchman Mathieu regales his fellow passengers with the story of the dysfunctional relationship between himself and the young woman in question, a fiery 19-year-old flamenco dancer named. What follows is a tale of cruelty, depravity and lies — the very building blocks of love.
