To Sleep With Anger

Aroview: Accomplished style-piece about African-American life in a Los Angeles suburb, where family calm is disturbed by the arrival of a magnetic, yet sinister associate from 'back home' in the Deep South.

Proceeding with a slow-burning pace, this uncovers a variety of personal tensions at work as a mysterious illness strikes and folk superstitions begin to cloud the air. Also incorporates a brilliant blues soundtrack.
