Way of a Gaucho
Here I am, running through these blank white corridors, light seeps through every crack in the creaky wooden doors; the cream white walls, stained with excess paint; all I can hear are your footsteps and the voices of the choir, singing their song. There is no feeling that describes this moment, and these words can't possibly bring it justice; pure bliss and wonder, nothing more, nothing less

There is this deeply rich and luscious beauty to having this shot on location in Argentina. The mountains and sky are such integral parts to the vibrant shot composition that frames the romance taking place at the center of it all.

Crazy to think that Tourneur and Tierney almost weren't involved in this movie at all, but thank God for making this collaboration happen.
