Killer of Sheep (1978) dir. Charles Burnett
Watched this perennial favorite of mine yet again!
A sobering, but heartwarming look at family life in a working-class African American community. Influenced heavily by the Italian Neorealist cinema -- Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio de Sica, et al.
Burnett made this film for $10K as a UCLA student, Now considered a classic. Chosen for the National Film Registry and the Criterion Collection.
Streaming now on Kanopy. Don't miss it.
