The Tigra is in addition to all that is, a western of waiting, perhaps in the same sense of T I Gunfight r, in which Johnny Ringo, a gunman with a reputation that exceeds the borders of states and drilling in the imaginations of those who want to kill him just for being who killed Johnny Ringo, returns to his original village to see for a few hours disguised as a common man to his son and his wife. Johnny Ringo wait and wait in the canteen because the film is not so much about his family but what happens in that time where he waits for his family.
In La Tigra all this is tempered by all the films went from 50 Henry King and Ford but in the multitude of flat horizon, a horizon level with few vertical lines in a chamber that is rarely chosen by the camera in hand or vertiginous camera is left with a still camera, one can recognize certain family with westerns.
The protagonist of La Tigra comes home with an excuse, which is like the pump to be turned off in Hitchcock's films, what will matter is how the protagonist begins a gentle and natural way , to seize their memories and changing the stagnant monotony Chaco Village and not do anything but just because its presence only by the presence of his waiting.
In that sense, The Tigra is quite natural: the protagonist just wait and what they are modifying the other, which "alters" the people, not he, who seems to have the tools to that this expectation is not made or desperate or devious or Beckettian. Unlike Ana and the others, in which one also has to think - the story of someone who returns to the inland town ("what matters is that the people are inside? As Buenos Aires is all? After However, almost all movies are "girl comes to town" or "boy returns to town" - the actor does not live with their hopes or their inability to communicate either with the desperation of boredom or to the absurdity of nonsense, but living the wait actively. The wait in Anna and the other is fickle, is carried to the extreme by the same player and is experienced as the senseless, in particular, is lived and by the viewer.
This is extremely active standby in The Gunfighter because everyone wants to see, touch as Johnny Ringo Western celebrity is and others want to try, test and eventually carry the dead, an activity highly popular in the United States at that time. Of course, the Tigra has neither the identity nor the crudeness. But where the protagonist Ana his season would sit in a chair too long to be broken, that of La Tigra traverses the village - one of the best scenes, I think - to fix the same chair.
