Discuss To Sleep with Anger

Danny Glover is a black man who may or may not be the Devil. He comes to visit a family whom he's acquainted with and turns their lives upside down. Pretty good film by Charles Burnett, although for some reason, I prefer Killer of Sheep. Some of Burnett's writerly decisions are or may be a bit suspect. Glover's really good in it.

No, it's a movie.

Well I highly recommend it to ya, mech, if you're into the 90's "movement" in Af-Am cinema or whatever you want to call it. I think of it as Charles Burnett's first serious bid for the mainstream; maybe I am wrong about that. But it's a damn fine effort. Glover absolutely rocks as an evil presence turning folks against each other and causing trouble.

Two thumbs way up

Is it fun?

I have no idea what your idea of fun is....

@CelluloidFan Did you find it fun?

SPOILER

Except for the part where Harry got his comeuppance, I don’t recall any of the film feeling anywhere close to “fun.”
