It’s Friday the 13th, so time for a moment of zen:

This mind-blowing scene from “Sinners” might be the greatest musical scene ever filmed.

Hear me out.

Watch carefully what Ryan Coogler, the film’s director, does with the aspect ratio. The scene begins in a tight frame inside a juke joint. It feels grounded, contained, almost documentary.

Then the frame opens up, giving you the signal that something is about to happen.

Suddenly, you’re no longer watching a performance in a juke joint; you’re crossing over. You’re being taken to another dimension.

As the music builds, you begin to see characters that do not belong. You realize you’re on a journey through the history of music.

Blues morphs into rock, then funk, then hip-hop. Generations of music from different cultures folding into the same moment.

Past, present, and future all in one place.

It’s one of the most brilliant pieces of visual storytelling I’ve ever seen.
