Sumario:The Tacuara Nationalist Movement was one of the most controversial radical movements in recent Argentine history. Reviewing two Argentine films of the 60’s’ neglected by historiography such as Lucas Demare’s Los guerrilleros and Fernando Ayala’s With taste of rage, we will analyze the way in which national cinema represented topics such as modernity and tradition, nationalist and guerrilla violence, women and youth. In the work it is suggested that both films structured a drama based on the journalistic and police chronicle of the moment, spreading a stereotype of the extremist radical with elements of the original Tacuara, the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement Tacuara and the first argentine guervarists guerrillas. The films are compared with other contemporary productions that thematized nationalist violence, such as Leopoldo Torre Nilsson’s La terraza and El ojo de la cerradura, and the short film El ciclo by Raymundo Gleyzer.
