Gaucho Gaucho

A celebration of Argentine Gauchos, a community of cowboys and cowgirls living beyond the modern world’s boundaries.

Acclaimed filmmakers Gregory Kershaw and Michael Dweck, now three-time Sundance honorees, who previously took audiences to the secret corners of the Italian countryside in search of white truffles with “The Truffle Hunters,” return with another striking nonfiction work. “Gaucho Gaucho” paints an Argentinian Western with images and sounds of operatic beauty, building on their earlier success with “The Last Race,” a film that explored the final stock car racetrack of Long Island.

Kershaw and Dweck’s focus is now on the vast mountains of Argentina, expressed in stunning black-and-white photography, and a small community of gauchos who hold profound connections to the surrounding nature and their own traditions. As older generations dispense their wisdom, the film keeps its eye toward a new generation who continue to fight for their families’ legacy in a modern world.

“One of the most visually striking films you’ll see all year.” – RogerEbert.com.
