Withers described Sinners as a sensory expertise, breaking down how the music was integral to the storytelling.
“I think the beautiful thing about acting is what I’ve come to realize is, like, whenever I’m performing, I always feel like there’s always a soundtrack under whatever’s happening, visually,” Withers said. “And I think Sinners is the epitome of that. It three-dimensionalizes the music, and you bring it to screen and to sing from a place that’s so soulful.”
He continued, praising Caton’s efficiency.
“I think that that’s beyond talent, that’s beyond a gift. And it was just a blessing to witness that,” he said. “Because that’s iconography. It’s going to go down in history as one of the greatest performances.”
For Caton, Coogler’s affect started years earlier. The actor recalled seeing Black Panther in theaters at 12 and being struck by the facility of illustration.
“I remember being in the theater and just being mind-blown by seeing us on the screen portrayed that way,” Caton said.
He added that Coogler’s movies persistently stability cultural specificity with broad appeal.
“You kind of see how he structures his films. It’s always cultural, it always has a deep impact, but it’s got so many other things around it that make it so interesting for people to watch,” Caton said.
“So the fact that I could be a part of something like that is just mind-blowing.”
