We exchanged cassettes. Studied liner notes like scripture. Music was communion & it fragmented. @SFMOMA, album covers @Roxie: Killer of Sheep. Found: communion still lives. My essay: krishinasnani.substack.com/p/how-music-...

Aziz Ansari bringing Charles Burnett's great Killer of Sheep to the @tcmtv.bsky.social table tonight. Stellar programming. Sullivan's Travels, How Green Was My Valley, and now this. #TCMParty #KillerOfSheep

"There's a Cassavetes-esque aura to this, minus the dramatic construction. And a Kubrick-ian air for shot composition that bellies this being a student thesis piece..."

My ★★★★ review of #KillerOfSheep

Play It Again, Charles Burnett Over the years, the director’s early films have been lost and found, forgotten and celebrated. But what about the work that came after, or that never came to be?

"Five features, [Charles Burnett's] unofficial Los Angeles cycle, made in the course of 25 years, explore the spiritual and material effects of class striving and family maintenance in the transplant city," Doreen St. Félix. www.newyorker.com/culture/crit... #TheGreatMigration #KillerofSheep

I just finished my pages. I started much later in the day and my hand doesn’t hurt as much. I basically wrote three pages on #KillerOfSheep. #morningpages

I finally saw #KillerOfSheep. They’re showing the restoration at the Plaza theatre in Atlanta.

Review: Still quietly radical, 'Killer of Sheep' showcases an unvarnished side of 1970s L.A. life Shot in Watts and unparalleled in its observational acuity, director Charles Burnett's landmark drama returns to theaters, restored and just as beguiling.

"The tone is more bone-tired than menacing, and it carries throughout #KillerOfSheep, which contains no tragedies or major twists, just an unerringly calm remove as its black-and-white 16mm images, shot by Burnett himself, chronicle working-class people getting by." www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

KILLER OF SHEEP is an essential work in the L.A. Rebellion — Moviejawn by Andrea Schmidt, Staff Writer Killer of Sheep illustrates the power of participatory media (locals were heavily involved) and the portrayal of complex Black subjects.

MJ's Andrea Schmidt says, "Even if you had already seen Burnett’s films in their previous iterations, KILLER OF SHEEP's restoration proves necessary and haunting cinematic viewing." #KillerOfSheep is now playing in limited theaters, including the the Film Forum in NYC.

This American indie cinema classic is beloved by many, many filmmakers. Including THE Sean Baker, who's quoted in this new trailer! onfs.net/4bfLrBu It's a must see on the big screen whenever it's playing near you. #KillerofSheep #SeanBaker

Killer of Sheep The Criterion Collection A quiet revelation of American independent filmmaking, Charles Burnett’s lyrical debut feature unfolds as a mosaic of Black life in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Stan (Henry Gayle Sanders), a father worn down by his job in a slaughterhouse, and his wife (Kaycee Moore) seek moments of tenderness in the face of myriad disappointments. Equally attuned to the world of children and that of adults, Burnett—acting as director, writer, producer, cinematographer, and editor—finds poetry amid everyday struggles in indelible images that glow with compassionate beauty. Largely unseen for decades following its completion in 1977, Killer of Sheep is now recognized as a touchstone of the groundbreaking LA Rebellion movement, and a masterpiece that brought Black American lives to the screen with an aching intimacy like no film before.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, approved by director Charles Burnett, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAudio commentary featuring Burnett and film scholar Richard PeñaNew interviews with Burnett and actor Henry Gayle SandersNew appreciation by filmmaker Barry JenkinsTwo short films by Burnett: Several Friends (1969) and The Horse (1973), with a new introduction to the latter by BurnettExcerpt from the 2010 UCLA LA Rebellion Oral History Project, featuring an interview with Burnett by film scholar Jacqueline StewartA Walk with Charles Burnett (2019), a documentary by Robert TownsendCast reunion from 2007TrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Danielle Amir Jackson
