IN THIS SCENE The opening scene to Ross McElwee's "Sherman's March."
ABOUT THIS FILM When First Run Features released Ross McElwee's Sundance Award-winning Sherman's March in 1986, it went on to become one of the largest grossing documentaries ever. Audiences and critics alike fell in love with McElwee's "quirky, funny and fascinating" (Newsweek) first-person narratives that would help define a new era of personal documentaries.
After his girlfriend leaves him, McElwee takes a voyage along the original route followed by General William Sherman -- but rather than cutting a swath of destruction designed to force the Confederate South into submission, as Sherman did, McElwee searches for love, camera in hand, "training his lens with phallic resolve on every accessible woman he meets." (Chicago Readers Circle)
"I can't think of another film in which erotic interest has been so finely tempered with respect - not even Woody Allen appreciates and admires women as much as McElwee."
-David Denby, New York Magazine
