Gaucho Gaucho

Description

The directing duo Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw had already delighted the Cinéclub audience once before with the magnificent film «The Truffle Hunters». After the story about the old Piedmont truffle collectors and their beloved dogs, they now celebrate the vigor of Argentine gauchos. For generations, these have been moving through the vast landscapes of Patagonia in the sparsely populated south of Argentina with their herds. People and animals live so intensely together that they seem to merge. The photographer and painter Michael Dweck and cinematographer Gregory Kershaw portray in their visually powerful work a community forgotten by the world, one that immediately wins your affection. The filmmakers create images and scenes of perfect beauty that make you forget that «Gaucho Gaucho» is a documentary film. Rebecca Nicholson writes in The Guardian: «This is a visually and acoustically astonishing film – one you don't just watch but rather immerse yourself in. It is abstract but captivating, black and white, theatrical and cinematic. You will be richly rewarded!»
