Cicadas & Cigarettes

About This Movie

Cicadas & Cigarettes offers a raw glimpse into Anna Ternheim's creative process, weaving her music with the local vibe of Goodlettesville, Tennessee. The documentary captures those quiet moments, the late-night jam sessions, and the palpable chemistry between Anna and the local musicians. It's this blend of Swedish melancholy and Southern warmth that sets the tone, drifting between contemplative and lively. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, almost meditative at times. While the film may not have the polish of bigger productions, it thrives on authenticity. You feel the struggles and joys of making art, the little imperfections in the performances only add to its charm. There's something distinctly intimate here, a personal journey that resonates well beyond the screen.
