Serendipitously rich and quirky, Sherman's March starts out as a historical documentary tracing General Tecumseh Sherman's disastrous march through the South, but somehow metamorphoses into a hilarious
record of filmmaker Ross McElwee's own calamitous quest for romance.
After a breakup with his girlfriend sidetracks his plans for the historical documentary, McElwee turns the camera on himself and his search for new love. The film is a compendium of his encounters with a
formidable group of extravagant Southern women, resulting in a timely study of human relationships in an era of nuclear nervousness.
