To sleep with anger / SVS, Inc. presents ; an Edward R. Pressman production ; written and directed by Charles Burnett ; produced by Thomas S. Byrnes, Caldecot Chubb, Darin Scott.
Harry, a devilish charmer from the Deep South, turns up out of the blue on the South Central Los Angeles doorstep of his old friends. In short order, Harry's presence turns a seemingly peaceful household upside down, 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, it is a sublimely stirring film from an autonomous artistic sensibility, a portrait of family resilience.
