[School of Movies 2025]
Topping lists for film of the year, this is the first Ryan Coogler-directed film that is his own. Not a comic book adaptation like the Black Panthers, not a legasequel like Creed and not a direct real life account like Fruitvale Station. This one puts Ryan on the map as a genuine visionary and master of his craft.
Clarksdale, Mississippi, 1932. Twin brothers, Smoke & Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) after returning home with stolen money from gangster shenanigans in Chicago, spend the day setting up an illegal juke joint for the local black community. As the sun goes down and the place starts rocking they attract the attention of some covetous vampires.
Rich, bloody, tragic and complex, with otherworldly music, this story will knock your socks off and haunt your dreams.
