Bright Leaves (2004)

Ross McElwee travels through the North Carolina tobacco belt in search of the ancient southern traditions associated with tobacco growing and use, while comparing his filmmaking to commercial cinema, represented by Bright Leaf, a melodrama directed by Michael Curtiz in 1950, starring Gary Cooper, apparently based on the life of his great-grandfather.

[Director] McElwee is also the rare documentarian who allows for surprises-look for a giant rat in the background (you can't miss the scene-stealing dog).

Frank Scheck 21 Oct 2003

This is one subject for which the passion of Michael Moore would be more appropriate.

Great documentary. There's a fantastic interview with an aging film theorist that blew my mind. Very intriguing. McElwee put this film together expertly.

Sean Burns 05 Mar 2005

A meandering riff on the dangerous allure of smoking, and more interestingly a meditation on the way motion pictures can preserve our life experiences-- but only to a point.

Ken Fox 26 Aug 2004

This rich, complex and surprisingly entertaining film also becomes a meditation on filmmaking and the parallels McElwee finds between cinema and, of all things, smoking.
