Killer of Sheep examines the black Los Angeles ghetto of Watts in the mid-1970s through the eyes of Stan, a sensitive dreamer who is growing detached and numb from the psychic 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. The film offers no solutions; it merely presents life — sometimes hauntingly bleak, sometimes filled with transcendent joy and gentle humor.
The film was shot in roughly a year of weekends on a budget of less than $10,000, paid for partially by a Louis B. Mayer grant of $3,000, and also out of the pocket of Burnett himself, who at the time was working at a small, boutique casting agency by the name of Chasin, Park & Citron. Shot on location with a mostly amateur cast, much handheld camera work, and an episodic narrative with gritty documentary-style cinematography, Killer of Sheep has been compared by film critics and scholars to Italian neorealist films like Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves and Roberto Rossellini’s Paisan. Burnett cites Basil Wright’s Songs of Ceylon and Night Mail and Jean Renoir’s The Southerner as his main influences.
The film stood apart from many of the more overtly political independents of the day in its understated simplicity. Burnett explains, “I come from a working-class environment and I wanted to express what the realities were. People were trying to get jobs, and once they found jobs they were fully concerned with keeping them. And they were confronted with other problems, with serious problems at home for example, which made things much more difficult.”
Killer of Sheep played at a handful of colleges and festivals in before receiving the Critics’ Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1981. In 1990, the Library of Congress declared the film a national treasure and placed it among the first 50 films entered in the National Film Registry for its historical significance. In 2002, the National Society of Film Critics selected the film as one of the 100 essential films of all time. Despite these accolades, Killer of Sheep never saw widespread commercial distribution due to the expense of the clearing of the music rights to the songs featured on the film’s soundtrack. In its rare viewings at festivals and museums it was shown on ragged 16mm prints. Now, thirty years later, the sparkling 35mm restoration by UCLA Film & Television Archive is ready for its long-awaited theatrical release.
One of the great achievements of the film is its soundtrack, which Burnett envisioned as an aural history of African-American popular music, including songs by Etta James, Dinah Washington, Paul Robeson, Little Walter, and Earth, Wind & Fire. In The A-List: 100 Essential Films, critic Armond White explains, “unsentimental blues wisdom forms the foundation of Burnett’s drama.” Burnett’s aptitude for keenly juxtaposing image and music has drawn comparisons to Stanley Kubrick among others. Ed Gonzalez of Slant magazine describes the music in Killer of Sheep as “drunk on hope” and says that it “reinforces the joy of Burnett’s sad images.” The complex interplay of hope and sorrow that is present in African-American music, namely blues, was recognized widely by critics and scholars as a fitting metaphor for the simultaneous sorrow and joy found in Killer of Sheep. One reviewer in Time magazine described Burnett’s filmmaking style as “good, old, urban blues.”
