SINNERS (2025) – AFI Movie Club

Directed by Ryan Coogler, shot by AFI Alum Autumn Durald Arkapaw (AFI Class of 2009) and starring AFI Trustee Michael B. Jordan in a stunning dual role, SINNERS (20025) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official rationale, “SINNERS stakes a rightful place in cinema history by sinking its teeth into the horrors of America’s past. Ryan Coogler’s blood-soaked tale of revisionist vengeance layers genre, music, fire and brimstone to create a wholly original vision. This modern masterpiece is filled with cinematic spirits embodied by talents that span from newcomer Miles Caton to the legendary Delroy Lindo – and Michael B. Jordan’s powerful dual role as ‘Smoke’ and ‘Stack’ confirms that he stands alone as one of today’s brightest stars.”
