This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Also known as The Bitter Stems.

This brilliant noir won Argentina’s Silver Condor Award as the best film of the year, but it remains virtually unknown in the rest of the world—which is unthinkable because The Bitter Stems is simply one of the finest noir-drenched crime films of the 1950s (and maybe ever). A deep-seated inferiority complex leads a Buenos Aires newspaper reporter (Carlos Cores) into a seemingly innocent correspondence-school scheme with a clever Hungarian expat (Vassili Lambrinos). But as the money flows in, so do rising suspicions about the Hungarian’s true motives. One man is driven to commit the perfect crime, with stunning and tragic results. The Bitter Stems was hailed by American Cinematographer as one of the “50 Best Photographed Films of All-Time” (by cinematographer Ricardo Younis, who studies under the great Gregg Toland) and features a vibrant score by the great Astor Piazzolla.
