Bright LeavesThis quixotic and idiosyncratic personal documentary explores the relationship between the tobacco industry and the director's somewhat fraught family history.
Equal parts home movie, investigative documentary and essay, this entertaining but probing film includes interviews with Patricia Neal, co-star of Bright Leaf (a 1950 Hollywood biopic reputedly based on the director's great-grandfather), unhinged film theorist Vlada Petric, and the director's movie-mad cousin.
