El Ranchero


I decided to watch another famous and well-regarded film from the 1980s the other night, one both my wife and I remembered as having a lot of space, and where time moved pretty slowly. After a few decades, this one didn't resonate so much anymore for whatever reason, although I certainly wouldn't mind driving a 1958 Ranchero. I was left wondering, would a famous European auteur travel all the way to America to make an art film in 2022? 

All that being said, the cinematography definitely holds up, and I really did love the lighting in this scene. According to an auction site, a mint Ranchero goes for around $50K these days. Good light to you this weekend, and happy bidding. 

Tasting notes: Canon digital camera.
