That Obscure Object of Desire
1977 · Movie · 103 min. · France
Just after boarding a train, much to the surprise of his fellow passengers, a man pours a bucket of water over a young girl on the platform. Over the next few hours he explains how he became obsessed by her (character played by two different actresses, representing different sides of her personality), and how she tantalised him, but would never allow him to satisfy his desire for her.
