Plot Summary:North Carolina produces more tobacco than any other state in America. Bright Leaves describes a journey taken across the social, economic, and psychological tobacco terrain of North Carolina by a native Carolinian, Ross McElwee, whose great-grandfather created the famous brand of tobacco known as Bull Durham. The comedic chronicle is a subjective, autobiographical meditation on the allure of cigarettes and their troubling legacy for the state of North Carolina. It's also a film about family history, addiction, denial, and filmmaking--as McElwee, noted director of Sherman's March, grapples with the legacy of an obscure Hollywood melodrama that is purportedly based on this curious man that was his great-grandfather.
人类学记录片，很个人化的片子，讲烟草和抽烟，以及小镇相关风土人情。
豆瓣把这个电影归到自然纪录片去了啊哈哈哈哈哈
很希望国内有字幕组可以翻译下Ross McElwee的片子了
