Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter, known for her collaborations with Ryan Coogler, reveals the deeper meaning behind the colors in their new film Sinners. The period horror movie, featuring Michael B. Jordan as Elijah "Smoke" Moore and Elias "Stack" Moore, uses a "red, white, and blue" color scheme to tell an American story. Carter researched 1930s fashion—including mobster styles and spiritual textiles—to enrich the narrative centered around the Smokestack Twins and their circle, including Stack's ex-girlfriend Mary (Hailee Steinfeld) and cousin Sammie, known as "Preacher Boy."
"There's a hidden meaning to Ryan Coogler's Sinners that reveals itself on multiple viewers." – Ruth E. Carter
