  A masterpiece of African American filmmaking and one of the finest debuts in cinema history Killer Of Sheep was chosen for the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress and named one of the 100 Essential Films by the National Society of Film Critics. In the Los Angeles community of Watts Stan a sensitive dreamer is growing detached and numb from the toll of working at a slaughterhouse. Frustrated by money problems he finds respite in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a teacup against his cheek slow dancing with his wife holding his daughter. Combining lyrical moments with neorealist style Burnett unfolds his story with compassion and humor.
