A man in a military uniform stumbles in an alley as a little girl in a white dress looks on... so begins Charles Burnett's first film, made while he was still a student at UCLA, and there is not a compromise to be seen in it. (paraphrased from fipresci.org)

At times a little bit like watching those jive-talking guys in AIRPLANE!, but without the subtitles for translation (and poor sound quality). As a result, after all the build-up of suspense, I'm still not sure if they got the washing machine installed. Does conjure something of a mood; acting is variable.

except for the music, a very similar aesthetic to killer of sheep. there's even an animal slaughter here. nothing too interesting.

It's ok. A mellow experience with some bright spots, but nothing memorable or engaging.

Pretty much a warm-up for Killer of Sheep, and indeed could almost be mistaken for deleted scenes from that film. Some funny stuff here, but probably not much will stick with you.
