To Sleep With Anger at Chelsea Theater

To Sleep With Anger

102 mins | Rated PG

Directed by Charles Burnett

Starring Danny Glover


CHELSEA CLASSICS: L.A. REBELLION

TO SLEEP WITH ANGER (Charles Burnett, 1990, 102min)

A slow-burning masterwork of the early 1990s, this third feature by Charles Burnett is a singular piece of American mythmaking. In a towering performance, Danny Glover plays the enigmatic southern drifter Harry, a devilish charmer who turns up out of the blue on the South Central Los Angeles doorstep of his old friends. In short order, Harry’s presence seems to cast a chaotic spell on what appeared to be a peaceful household, exposing smoldering tensions between parents and children, tradition and change, virtue and temptation. Interweaving evocative strains of gospel and blues with rich, poetic-realist images, To Sleep with Anger is a sublimely stirring film from an autonomous artistic sensibility, a portrait of family resilience steeped in the traditions of African American mysticism and folklore.
