Gaucho, Gaucho celebrates a close-knit community of gauchos- cowboys and cowgirls who live beyond the boundaries of the modern world, whose lives remain deeply tied to the land, their horses, and one another. This film, shot in black and white, paints an Argentinian Western that captures the operatic beauty of life in the vast mountains of Argentina.
As older generations share their wisdom, the film turns its gaze to a new generation striving to uphold their families’ legacy in a modern world. With reverence for nature, spirituality, and heritage, Gaucho reveals a portrait of a culture that continues to ride proudly toward the future while carrying the weight and wonder of its past.
These filmmakers have enormous reserves of love and empathy for traditions that miraculously survive in spite of the modern world. And their compassion has never looked more cinematic.” – Harper’s Bazaar
