Oro nestas piedras

About This Movie

Oro nestas piedras is this fascinating dive into the life of Jorge Leonidas Escudero, an Argentine poet who’s also a gold digger at heart. The film has this raw, earthy feel, blending Escudero’s poetic musings with the rugged backdrop of San Juan’s mountains. You get his voice—both spoken and reading—woven through scenes that reflect his love for chance and nature. It’s not just a documentary; it’s an exploration of obsession and loss. The pacing has this contemplative rhythm, almost meditative at times, yet it lingers on the weight of dreams and failures. The way it captures the essence of the landscape alongside Escudero's introspections is quite distinctive, really.
