Killer Of Sheep (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #14 extract: Killer Of Sheep (1978)



Killer Of Sheep is simple, yet brilliant. It loosely follows a struggling husband, depicting both his daily challenges as well as those belonging to (sometimes stemming from) the network characters that surround and are connected to him in his working-class town. Without having a strong sense of a plot, or even much of a narrative focus, Killer Of Sheep is then an ingenious piece of realism that blends documentary and fiction incredibly well. 
Beautifully shot with such a tremendous sense of life and verisimilitude, this is ultimately a great movie, subtle, muted and perfectly reserved.
