“An American masterpiece, independent to the bone” (New York Times), Charles Burnett’s 1978 drama examines mid-’70s life in L.A’s Watts neighborhood through a series of vignettes involving a sensitive man living a tough life (Henry G. Sanders). Stunningly original and artistic, and by turns sad, funny, and profound, Killer of Sheep was pulled out of obscurity after almost 30 years and restored, and is now considered essential viewing.
