Within minutes following the opening fade-in of “Gaucho Gaucho,” a trio of individuals can be seen dashing across a barren landscape, each sitting astride their own majestic-looking horse bathed in a sea of black and white with a South American backdrop beautifully framing the moment. It’s an appropriate setup to this documentary about gauchos, the colloquialism used to describe Argentinian cowboys and cowgirls, as the 84-minute runtime serves as little more than an exercise in striking photography mixed with a series of vignettes that’s as slice of life as one’s likely to find.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Dominic Fike appeared at the Variety Studio presented by Audible while attending the Sundance Film Festival and compared his experiences playing a character struggling with drug addiction on HBO’s “Euphoria” and his new Sundance premiere, “Little Death.” The latter title marks the feature directorial debut of music video helmer Jack Begert, who happens to be one of Fike’s friends.

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have been royally flushed.Buckingham Palace announced on Wednesday that the two royals will not be among the Counsellors of State that can carry out engagements on the behalf of King Charles III when he is hospitalized next week for a planned procedure to treat his enlarged prostate.While the 75-year-old monarch’s condition is benign and he will still be capable of fulfilling his constitutional requirements and duties during this time, King Charles was forced to cancel all public engagements. The role of a Counsellor of State is to stand in for the monarch and that person can act on the monarch’s behalf through the Letters Patent if he is incapacitated, but because Prince Andrew, 63, and Prince Harry, 39, are not working royals, their eligibility was quietly declared null and void after Charles took the throne following Queen Elizabeth’s death.
