Sherman’s
March
Review by Lois Wadsworth
I
Ross McElwie originally subtitled this
hilarious autobiographical work A
Meditation Upon the Possibilities of
Romantic Love in the South During an
Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation
but settled for the shorter An Im
probable Quest for Love. He started
out to follow General William
Tecumseh Sherman's destructive march
through the south during the Civil War,
but he ended up marching through the
New South looking for love.
When his girlfriend abandons
him for another man just as he’s
about to start shooting a funded
documentary on Sherman’s March,
director-actor-writer and teacher of
filmaking Ross McElwee tells us
right away that he’s “searching for
romantic love, where people stay
with each other for a long time
like more than two weeks.”
McElwee's wry humor touches
every scene in the picture, but it is
particularly evident in the times
when he faces the camera alone
and confesses his loneliness or
ineptitude with women or when he
falls down the hill with great
comic timing at a Civil War
monument.
When his girlfriend leaves him,
McElwee goes back to his
hometown of Charlotte, North
Carolina, to lick his wounds and
figure out what kind of movie to
make. Out rowing with his sister,

Filmmaker Ross McElwee’s Sherman’s March is an hilarious,
autobiographical “search for romantic love.”
who’s a bit of a nut for cosmetic
surgery, he films her giving him
good advice on how to use his
camera to pick up women.
“Everyone here thinks this is PM
Magazine," she explains, just as a
beauteous woman swims by and
waves.
He meets the swimmer, a daffy,
aspiring-actress named Pat who
wants him to film her doing
cellulite exercises, during which
she confesses that she doesn’t wear
undies. Pat leaves town to pursue
her acting career and to catch up
with her idol, Burt Reynolds. Rey
nolds becomes McElwee’s minor
obsession, eventually filmed
glad-handing a crowd and kissing
babies at a publicity appearance,
but Pat doesn’t come back.
Next, he gets connected with
Claudia, a right-wing interior
decorator, who takes McElwee to
a remote survivalist camp where
they’re building lead-lined bunkers
and a tennis court.
He goes to visit an old friend
and former teacher, Charleen, who
thinks he should put down his
camera and get busy making
babies. She introduces him to
Deedee, whose house is stockpiled
with food and water to survive two
weeks after a nuclear holocaust,
and who really wants a Mormon
priest for a husband. Charleen
gives him a bad time for deciding
Deedee’s not right for him:
“You’ve got to kid yourself, kid
her, and then you both believe it.”
And there’s Wini, a linguist who
lives on an island, who lets
McElwee stay with her for a
while, but when he leaves for a
couple months, she takes up with
another man. An ex-girlfriend he
visits who’s an anti-nuclear activist
isn’t interested in him now.
Another old girlfriend, a beautiful
lawyer, ditches him right away for
the same man she always ditches
him for. And a singer he meets
leaves town for the big time.
The enduring portrait of
McElwee that comes through in
Sherman’s March is that of a self
effacing man whose laconic sense
of time, place, and these wacky
people is loving and gentle. Not to
be missed, the picture opens at
Cinema 7 Friday, Jan. 9.
