Solid 5 stars
Solid 5 starts, for those who like Spanish director Luis Buñuel, whose filmography is a genre of its own. .
Complicated cerebral film. Excellent! Dramatic!
This cerebral film "The Obscure Object of Desire" pulled me in from the very first scene. A sophisticated gentleman is on a train and a young woman approaches. She is tall and demure but agitated. She's looking for someone; it's the sophisticated gentleman she seeks because when he sees her his reaction is one of surprise and horror. She finds him and pleads with him. He talks to a train conductor and when she appears at his car he throws a bucket of water over her. His riding companions are stunned because the act seems so contrary to his character. He proceeds to tell his traveling companions about his relationship with the woman; and this is the beginning of the story.
In this film, the unexpected happens. You never can predict what will happen next. The filmmaker is psychologically astute. The drama develops out of the intense relationships.
I won't spoil it for you by describing anything else. It is an excellent film full of eroticism, friendship and love...
waste of time watching
This movie was a waste of my time and money to watch. Not worth renting or viewing for that matter. Don't bother!
