CGiii Comment

Producido por Armando Bó, fue el segundo largo de Torre Nilsson con un trabajo formidable de Diana The film narrates the encounter between “La Tigra”, a woman known by that nickname in the cafes of the port area for her character and her sharp claws, and Luis, a student of Fine Arts. There will be born a strong, passionate and necessarily brief relationship during which each of them will peek into the world of the other, until then unknown, unable to overcome the hostility of the same. Luis is unwilling or unable to leave his bourgeois stability and “La Tigra” is unable to leave an environment in which the malevo Olivera is the dominant figure.


Maggi en el papel del título. El romance imposible entre una prostituta y un estudiante de pintura enfatiza la sordidez del ambiente portuario con una violencia atípica y referencias a algunos tabúes, como el consumo de drogas o al lesbianismo. En 1953, la Dirección de Espectáculos Públicos calificó al film como de “Exhibición no obligatoria” y sólo tuvo proyecciones en algunas provincias.
