If you loved La Vie criminelle d'Archibald de La Cruz, try Cet obscur objet du désir
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Luis Buñuel, and they both carry the foreign gem, pitch black mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Vie criminelle d'Archibald de La Cruz, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cet obscur objet du désir is
Luis Buñuel being Luis Buñuel, this takes on romantic obsession. Mathieu recounts his relationship with the elusive Conchita to baffled train passengers. It all amounts to a case study in how desire can curdle into a uniquely annoying form of cruelty.
