Gaucho Gaucho

Gaucho Gaucho

Michael Dweck & Gregory Kershaw / United States & Argentina / 2024 / International Premiere / 84 min

The duo behind the 'The Truffle Hunters' are back with a timeless and visually stunning tribute to the cowboys and cowgirls who keep old traditions alive. An Argentinian western with understated humour and an eye for the epic drama in the detail.

In the endless plains and desolate mountains of Argentina live the so-called gauchos. Cowboys and cowgirls dressed in beautiful uniforms and with an almost spiritual connection to their horses and the land they ride on. They drink mate, race, gallop and lasso as their ancestors have always done. Out of time, but certainly not out of place. Out here among cacti and dusty cornfields, the gauchos keep the traditions of the past alive. The directing duo behind the hit film ‘The Truffle Hunters’ have an unrivalled eye for the deep relationship between people, animals and the picturesque land they share. In crystal clear and stunningly beautiful black and white images that capture every grain of desert dust, ‘Gaucho Gaucho’ is not only one of the most beautiful films of the year. It is also a true Argentine Western with understated humour and a melancholic touch of Old World charm in a time of slow, but certain change.
