About Warming by the Devil's Fire
Director Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep, My Brother's Wedding, To Sleep with Anger) presents a tale about a young boy's encounter with his family in Mississippi in the 1950s, and intergenerational tensions between the heavenly strains of gospel and the devilish moans of the blues.
Directed by Charles Burnett, Warming by the Devil's Fire leans on a strong ensemble — Tommy Redmond Hicks, Nathaniel Lee Jr., Carl Lumbly — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2003.
