The House of the Angel (1957)

Set in 1920s Argentina, Ana, raised by a devoutly religious mother and a domineering father, faces uncertainty about her rights and the consequences of her father's friend developing an inappropriate attraction. In a society where political discussions are resolved through duels and conversations about sexuality are considered taboo, Ana confronts the complexities of a deeply repressed world. Directed by the innovative Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, this film is a gem of Argentine cinema.
