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.
