The Tiger of Santa Julia

A quiet tailor by day, a masked avenger by night. In 1970s Mexico City, José de Jesús Negrete leads this improbable double life, a stark contrast that fuels a whirlwind of comedy, drama, and unexpected action. This 2002 film blends social commentary with the spirit of a folk legend, following the man who robbed from the corrupt to give to the impoverished. His exploits, both absurd and poignant, paint a portrait of a neighborhood's chaotic heart and the unlikely hero who defended it, one stolen peso at a time.
