Movies that feel like The Truffle Hunters (2020)
In the secret forests of Northern Italy, a dwindling group of joyful old men and their faithful dogs search for the world’s most expensive ingredient, the white Alba truffle. Their stories form a real-life fairy tale that celebrates human passion in a fragile land that seems forgotten in time.
If you loved The Truffle Hunters, the closest films we have are Some Kind of Heaven (2021), The Dog (2013) and We Live in Public (2009). All three share The Truffle Hunters' contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary (1997).

Documentary of the same temperament
Documentary approached the same way
Cut from the same documentary cloth
Both play documentary straight
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
The same documentary instincts
