A timeless, minimalist deadpan comedy, this is a young woman’s deliciously eccentric quest for sense of self in a world of doppelgängers, with an unforgettable performance from Rosario Bléfari. Committed to hilarity in all forms, Martín Rejtman’s cinema conjures humor and warmth in equal measure.

Fuelled by a top-form ensemble cast, The Magic Gloves is one of Argentine auteur Martín Rejtman’s funniest films. This clever, humorous take on the mid-30s crisis is another trademark mix of absurdist charm and endearing warmth. A unique view of Buenos Aires full of lively, strange characters.

Martín Rejtman’s debut is today regarded as the film that launched the New Argentine Cinema, and prefigures his trademark style of comedies imbued with a languid melancholy and hilariously deadpan humor. Presented in its recent restoration, this now-cult film is always ripe for (re)discovery.

A master of deadpan comedy, Argentinian filmmaker Martín Rejtman bookends his luminous short with a mouth-watering feast of Jewish delicacies. Condensing all the fine irony, absurdist humour, and unassuming warmth that defines his work into only 19 minutes, Shakti is a delightful minimalist gem.

Accommodating both the downbeat and the surreal, Martín Rejtman’s first feature in nine years treats midlife depression with a holistic sense of humor. Comic scenarios flow into one another with the flexibility of a master yogi, and achieve a strengthened core in The Delinquents’ Esteban Bigliardi.
