To Sleep with Anger is the story of Harry Mention (Danny Glover), a visitor from the South who enters the home of old friend Paul Butler. Initially invited as a guest, Mention proves to be an increasingly disruptive force, wreaking havoc in Butler’s middle-class life. A family drama, the film is also the story of trickery, and the tensions between life in 1990s Los Angeles and Southern tradition. “To Sleep with Anger is a singular artistic achievement that transcends categorization, seamlessly incorporating elements of family drama, dark comedy and magical realism” (UCLA Film & Television Archive). 1990, DCP, 102 minutes.
