One of the most original and richly layered films to come out of Hollywood in recent years, Sinners explores a range of themes, most inspiring of which is its portrayal of music as a force that can summon the spirits of the past and future - a weapon of resistance for the oppressed. Through this, the film delves into the profound connection between Black American blues and Irish folk music.
