This is inarguably one of the most self-indulgent films ever made, and gloriously so. Ross McElwee emerges not as a man engaging his hubris but rather his humility—that, and his libido at the potential expense of his film on the route of US Army general William Tecumseh Sherman. By the end of his journey, McElwee will salvage what exploration he can on Sherman’s march, but it is his own journey that is the film’s central thread.
