Hoezo in KINO

“Man, I ain’t poor. Look, I give away things to the Salvation Army; you can’t give away nothin’ to Salvation Army if you poor.” We’re very proud to present this film as the first European cinema after the digital restoration, a godsend for our Underbelly program and cinema enthousiasts at large. Charles Burnett’s first feature is a raw, uncompromising but poetic insight into the American Way of the many; surviving, but never thriving. A black man living in Watts works an exhausting abattoir job and can’t muster the strength to enthuse himself for his domestic responsibilities, making his wife and kids suffer along him. A transformative, etherial work that needs to be experienced rather than just watched. English language without subtitles.
