Cinema Art Theater–‘The Truffle Hunters’

May 6, 2021 @ 6:00 pm

CLICK TO VIEW TRAILER: “The Truffle Hunters,” an enchanting documentary about a group of male friends combing the forests for an unlikely delicacy.

Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, over seventy years old, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle – which to date has resisted all modern science’s efforts at cultivation. They are guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs. As it soon becomes clear, these ageing men may just hold something much more valuable than even the prized truffle: the secret to a rich and meaningful life. [2020, Italy, 84 min, Rated: PG-13].

Tomris Laffly of “Variety” exclaims “A scrumptious cinematic journey. Try not to fall hard for the joy it spreads.” David Rooney of “Hollywood Reporter” writes, “Gorgeous. Unique. Delightful. Visual Poetry. A fascinating glimpse inside a world of arcane knowledge and the luxury market that feeds of it.  A constant feast for the eyes and a nourishment for the soul, giving the illusion of a journey back in time to a pre-technology age of simpler pleasures.”
