The Magic Gloves (Spanish: Los guantes mágicos) is a 2003 Argentine drama and comedy film directed by Martín Rejtman.
The film stars Vicentico, Valeria Bertuccelli, Diego Olivera, Fabián Arenillas, Cecilia Biagini and Susana Pampín.
Alejandro (Vicentico), a cab driver, and his girlfriend Cecilia are in the midst of breaking up when they become adopted by a social group led by a bossy husband and wife team, Sergio (Fabián Arenillas) and Susana (Susana Pampín).
Writing for The Village Voice, J. Hoberman praised the film; "The Magic Gloves is a city symphony in which the metropolis seems an illusory maze and the melody is based on a refrain of recurring riffs.
"[2] Dan Sallitt writing in Senses of Cinema wrote that "The Magic Gloves pushes the deadpan style of Spanish comedy so far that the abstraction comes out the other end.
