The Bitter Stems (1956)

Alfredo Gaspar, a disgruntled reporter, partners with an immigrant waiter in search of a quick fortune. The promotion of a journalism course brings them a lot of money, but Gaspar questions his partner's honesty, leading to a revenge plot. Directed by Fernando Ayala, this acclaimed film is among the 100 best-photographed films, with music by legendary composer Astor Piazzolla. A blend of tango, jazz, deception and film noir creates a unique cinematic experience.
