An improbable search for love

Documentary

Ross McElwee sets out to make a documentary about the lingering effects of General Sherman's march of destruction through the South during the Civil War, but is continually sidetracked by women who come and go in his life, his recurring dreams of nuclear holocaust, and Burt Reynolds.

VIBE

A deeply personal, often hilarious, and surprisingly poignant journey through history, love, and existential dread. It feels like eavesdropping on a brilliant, anxious mind wrestling with the past and present, all while charmingly losing focus.
