Ryan Coogler Knows This Matters
The Sinners director shared a heartfelt thank-you on Instagram, where he shouted out collaborators, influences, and audiences.
This matters not only because it’s a kind gesture and a selfless moment to acknowledge who and what it takes to have a movie made; it also allows Sinners to exist in a context of cinematic events past and future. Some notables in his long list of influences include “Chris” Nolan, Spike Lee, John Singleton, Paul Thomas Anderson, Mati Diop, and Nia Dacosta. Regardless of how you read Sinners, this is a personal leap of faith for Coogler, and his open thank-you to moviegoers embodies the type of collaborative, celebratory spirit that will help keep the medium alive.
