Sinners (OmU)

Ryan Coogler's latest film unfolds as a gritty Southern Gothic thriller set in 1930s Mississippi. Twin brothers Smoke and Stack, scarred by the shadows of their lives in Chicago, return to their hometown to open a juke joint for the black community with money of dubious provenance. Their young cousin Sammie brings a spiritual power to the room with his passionate blues music, elevating the sound to a legendary bridge between life, death and heritage.

But many things are not as they seem, and so the story turns into a dark conflict between the black community and a sinister, unexpected enemy. Coogler masterfully interweaves the flair of the southern states with the cultural depth of Africa, which reverberates like an echo through the generations.

A strong signal for cohesion, which is lived out in bloody battles until dawn - carried by music, memory and the longing for freedom. Sinners thus becomes an epic, unforgettable experience that unites horror, history and spirituality in a wild, vibrant symphony.
