When I lived by the Castro Theatre, they had a week where they screened Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep. I've just seen a little blurb for it in a local Melbourne paper called the Melbourne Leader: "Charles Burnett's 70s film about the working poor in the LA ghetto is widely hailed as a landmark in African-American filmmaking and labelled a national treasure by the Library of Congress for its historical significance." It's an amazing film, I would encourage everyone to see it.
Only problem is, the heading on this particular little blurb seems to have omitted the word "of" in the title. I wonder how much confusion will ensue at the ACMI box office as people show up who were lured by the promise of Killer Sheep.
