That Obscure Object of Desire (Film Discussion)
Details
With an effortlessness matched by no other director today, Bunuel creates a vision of a world as logical as a theorem, as mysterious as a dream, and as funny as a vaudeville gag. (NYT)
Bunuel’s characters have been doing battle with erotic desire for more than 40 years now. They tend to be vain and fastidious people, middle-class, concerned with maintaining their self-respect. Yet they have a way of coming off second-best to lust, jealousy and an assortment of peculiar sexual obsessions. And Bunuel, seems to learn more about their weaknesses with every year, and to find their passions increasingly funny. (Ebert)

We all seek meaning in our lives and dread futility. Philosophy doesn't provide facile answers, but the philosophical quest to make sense of our fleeting lives is one that we all share.
This group explores answers by discussing not only philosophical writing, but also literature and film.
