“[En Cándido López, los campos de batalla] Creo que el desafío de una película documental histórica es llegar a emocionar. Y eso no es posible si no hay un personaje que te pueda llevar “a la par” hasta conseguirlo. No un héroe, o un prócer. Un simple soldado, aficionado a la pintura, y que encima pierde su brazo diestro en el campo de batalla.”

    THE MAGIC GLOVES

    MARTÍN REJTMAN Argentina, 2003

    Fuelled by a top-form ensemble cast, The Magic Gloves is one of Argentine auteur Martín Rejtman’s funniest films. This clever, humoros 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.

    RAPADO

    MARTÍN REJTMAN Argentina, 1992

    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.
