Sinners
There are moments when a director fully comes out of their shell and I believe it has happened for Coogler. As soon as the film had begun it was as if I was transported into a world so different but familiar from its roots in cultural history. In time of sequels and remakes getting distributed more often than ever before, originality is a lost art form that is under threat from big film studios opting for former rather than the latter preferring of the short term impact as a desirable whilst ignoring long term consequences.
I was hyped for this because everything about it looked so original and new and I definitely loved the idea of vampire film set in the mississippi delta with it’s narrative heavily focusing on religion, how those who walk the path with such determination can be the same people who drive their own away from them and also focuses on the mutual relation that all the ethnic groups have with one another in various ways.
The IMAX scenes were incredible to witness, seeing the one take scene will forever be a special moment in my memory when it comes to watching films, I won’t ever forget it.
