Filmed in Mexico, Tabaré is an adaptation of the epic poem by Uruguayan writer Juan Zorrilla de San Martín (1855-1931). It tells the story of Tabaré (played by Enrique Castilla), the cacique of a Charrúa tribe, who is half Indian and half Spanish. He is captured during the days of the Spanish conquest, and in captivity he falls in love with the Spanish Blanca, whom he rescues from other Indians, though he is ultimately killed by the Spaniards. The film is no longer extant, but a booklet titled Argumento de Tabaré (pictured at left) was recently discovered which includes the script, several stills and further information. Tabaré was remade by the same director and released in 1948, though little is known about this version either. Unfortunately, these are the only films on the native peoples of Uruguay that I've been able to find. If you know of any more, please write to me!
