Description

In the primary book devoted to Charles Burnett, a a very powerful figure within the history of American cinema continuously considered essentially the most influential member of the L.A. Insurrection group of African American filmmakers, James Naremore provides a close very important study of all Burnett’s major pictures for movies and tv, including Killer of Sheep, To Sleep with Anger, The Glass Shield, Nightjohn, The Wedding, Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property, and Warming by the Devil’s Fire. Having accessed new information and rarely seen material, Naremore shows that Burnett’s career has developed against the chances and that his artistry, social criticism, humor, and commitment to what he calls “symbolic knowledge” have given his work enduring value for American culture.
