Latin Wave 17: The Practice

The latest film by trailblazing director Martín Rejtman, a key figure in the New Argentine Cinema, is a shrewd, deadpan comedy featuring an outstanding ensemble cast led by Esteban Bigliardi. The Practice concerns an Argentine yoga instructor living in Chile who must deal with increasingly absurd situations—including a persistent knee injury, the search for a new home, a meddling mother, and a flirtatious student—in order to land back on his feet.
