The plot is simple. After his girlfriend leaves him, filmmaker Ross McElwee takes a voyage along the original route followed by General William Sherman - but rather than cutting a swath of destruction designed to force the Confederate South into submission, as Sherman did, McElwee searches for love, camera in hand, training his lens with phallic resolve on every accessible woman he meets.

English A film diary is definitely not my cup of tea, at least not in this form. I can't help it, but there was nothing in the movie that entertained me, perhaps only the spontaneity of the individual actors, which is not often seen otherwise. It exuded a sense of relaxation, but for a movie that is supposed to be groundbreaking like a film diary, I felt there was too little of that. ()
