Native South Carolinian filmmaker Ross McElwee returns to the South he so memorably explored in his 1986 magnum opus Sherman's March for a rich, complex and surprisingly entertaining film about the surprising parallels between cinema and, of all things, smoking. Ostensibly tracing the roots of the 1946 Gary Cooper-Patricia Neal vehicle Bright Leaf, which he suspects is based on the story of his tobacco-growing grandfather, McElwee also explores the Carolinian tobacco industry and the very nature of film itself. Not to be missed. Read the complete review for Bright Leaves
