Thursday Matinee Movie: "The Truffle Hunters" (Documentary)

Winner of multiple Best Documentary awards this year! Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years old, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle-which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation. “Gorgeous. Unique. Delightful. Visual Poetry. A fascinating glimpse inside a world of arcane knowledge and the luxury market that feeds off 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.”– David Rooney, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER (84 min.) (2020)
