Killer of Sheep
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Charles Burnett
1978 / 80min / DCP
Shot on a shoestring with a largely non-professional cast, Burnett’s justly legendary feature debut—a keystone film of the L.A. Rebellion—is a lyrical urban/bucolic portrait of everyday Black working-class life in Los Angeles’s Watts neighborhood as encapsulated in the experiences of a burned-out slaughterhouse worker (Henry Gayle Sanders) and his family.
Distributor: Kino Lorber
