The Truffle Hunters
The Truffle Hunters
Michael Dweck, Gregory Kershaw / Italy, Greece, USA / 2020 / 84 min / Italian, English
Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, 70 or 80 years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle. They’re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs.
“Here’s a challenge: Watch the opening moments of The Truffle Hunters and try not to fall hard for the immediate flavors of joy it spreads.”
- Variety
“A strange, funny, mysterious and rather beautiful film. /…/ A film to leave you with a smile on your face.”
- The Guardian
