Tigre
Director: Ulises Porra, Silvina Schnicer
Country: Argentina
Running Time: 92′
UK Premiere
After a long absence, Rina (Marilú Marini) returns to the old family home deep in Argentina’s Tigre delta hoping to reconnect with her adult son and thwart the developers who threaten to repossess the land. Family tensions simmer in the sweltering heat and the past looms large in this atmospheric and supremely assured drama from first-time filmmakers Silvina Schnicer and Ulises Porra Guardiola, which has earned comparisons to the early work of fellow Argentinian Lucretia Martel.
