There's a special alchemy to 'The Truffle Hunters' - a beautiful marriage of subject, form and intention that make it such an uplifting, entertaining and generous experience. Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw have so much love for these men, their world and their dogs, and share that love with us, daring us not to be charmed by what we see. 'The Truffle Hunters' is a gorgeous film, one that leaves you with a profound sense of the beauty of time, tradition and integrity, and the importance of preserving them.
