As cultural products, the three films analyzed - A Casa Assassinada (1972), Sunday , bloody Sunday (1971) and Les Amities Particulières (1964) - allude to feminist issues of the time, as well as instigating a reading of gender beyond the narratives, by historicizing the visibility of the female body , heteronormativity , and the subversiveness of forbidden loves as represented through the films’ structure. The text argues, from a queer perspective, that the aesthetic nature of twist cinema , within the limits of each style and period, was precisely the boldness to run risks in its visual grammar , not making political concessions in challenging the moral canons of current society 2017 artículo científico 0104-026X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=38149070015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=381 Revista Estudos Feministas application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Revista Estudos Feministas (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.25
