The Beguiled

Don Siegel's 'The Beguiled' tells the story of a wounded Union soldier who seeks refuge in a Southern girls' school during the Civil War. As the women care for him, sexual tensions and power dynamics escalate, leading to jealousy and betrayal.

The film subverts traditional war narratives by focusing on the perspectives and desires of the women.

Clint Eastwood plays against type as the manipulative soldier trapped in a web of feminine desire and revenge.

'The Beguiled' is a dark and suspenseful exploration of repressed sexuality, gender roles, and the destructive nature of deception.
