Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep made a lot of top ten lists last year, even though the movie was about thirty years old. The Exiles might not hold over quite the same way, but it deserves as much attention, if not more so. The movie shows fourteen hours of hanging out from the perspective of urban Native Americans struggling to balance their Los Angeles existence with the culture they brought over from reservation life. It's an issue that rarely gets explored today, which makes it all the more remarkable that the movie was made by Kent Mackenzie back in the late 1950s. It has not, however, received theatrical release until now, and Milestone Films has done a fantastic job with the restoration. For indieWIRE, I spoke with presenters Burnett and Native American writer Sherman Alexie about the various themes explored in the film, which is currently playing at the IFC Center.
