The purpose of this article is to explore the film Carancho (2010, Pablo Trapero), taking into account the characteristics that typify the film noir genre, particularly those related to character construction and the fate of the main character, on the one hand, and the spaces within which he moves and plays his role, on the other. Particular attention will be paid to Ricardo Darín?s star image in the construction of the protagonist of the film, an antihero whose diffuse and opaque nature differs from the classical representation of a cinematographic star. To this end, the concept of star image will be used following Richard Dyer and James Naremore, in particular.Indexación: CIRC, MLA, Latindex
