Four-Star Films : ‘Sherman’s March’
This original and sneakily endearing project by Ross McElwee tells of how the Harvard-based documentarian’s intended film on the lingering effects of Sherman’s calamitous march through the South turns into his own doggedly optimistic pursuit of love once his girlfriend abandons him. Among the women McElwee meets is Pat, pictured, an actress who wants to meet Burt Reynolds. This 1986 film is a quirky, unexpected gem (Bravo Friday at 8:05 p.m., Saturday at 11:15 a.m. and Sunday at midnight).
