Description
Summary:This article analyzes the close relationship established between a group of actors that emerged in the context of modern Argentinean cinema (Héctor Alterio, Walter Vidarte, Luis Brandoni, Federico Luppi) with a character consolidated in the sixties and seventies: the white collar worker. From an approach that crosses the trajectory of these artists, their performance in the films, comments and statements in the press, seeks to show the existing feedback between the actors and a virtually unique character. From this statement, it establishes a relation between the clerks with the literary and theatrical tradition (fundamentally in the figure of Roberto Arlt) to see the way in which these characters allow an approach to the common man as part of the objectives of the Argentinean cinema of those years.
