Plot summary
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).[1] Alejandro briefly abandons his cab driving career to join an investment in plastic gloves along with Sergio and Sergio's brother, Luis, a porn star who has been working in Canada.
Reception
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."[1]
