Coogler in 1932 Mississippi with twin Michael B. Jordans and a juke joint, shot on 65mm, and it shows in every frame.

Two brothers return from Chicago to open a bar in one night. The music they make draws something.

The film's argument is about music as a thing that pierces time, and its centrepiece is a sequence in the juke joint where the performance summons dancers from across a century into the same room in one continuous shot. It is the most ambitious thing in a horror film this decade.

Ludwig Göransson's score and the delta blues are inseparable from the plot rather than decorating it.

It is a vampire film that takes forty minutes to become one and the wait is entirely justified.

Shot in IMAX 65mm and Ultra Panavision 70. See it on the largest screen you can find.
