Martín Rejtman’s comeback 11 years after The Magic Gloves did not disappoint. Taking a suicide attempt as the starting point and surprising us at every turn, the film is a fascinating and subversive exercise in comedy: its sophisticated storytelling, dark humor and deadpan beauty are just genius.

Argentine director Rodrigo Moreno was exploring questions of distended time and romantic flukes long before The Delinquents. Coloring heartbreak in moody, tobacco-stained hues, this quasi-literary odyssey counts the late Rosario Bléfari among its surfeit of unexpected pleasures.
