By Zachary Lee Verified| RogerEbert.com Verified One of the great joys when watching a Ryan Coogler project is seeing how he'll remix seemingly unrelated stories, themes, and genres into a wholly original creation. Proximity Media, the production company he formed with his wife Zinzi and friend Sev, helps bring audiences closer to often overlooked subjects. In that way, Coogler is like a sommelier, as he and his team take the neglected histories and stories they're passionate about getting visibility and pair them with a genre.
By Zachary Lee Verified| JoySauce Verified When directors create films that serve as “love letters” to their hometowns, I don’t expect sword-wielding basketball players and punk rock warriors to factor in their stories, but that’s just one of the ways directors Anna Boden’s and Ryan Fleck’s Freaky Tales, which premiered at Sundance in 2024 and was released in theaters earlier this month, distinguishes itself from other cinematic tributes.
By Zachary Lee Verified| Letterboxd@ “You want some?”More to say about the film’s spiritual stance, particularly how it harmonizes Christianity with hoodoo spirituality and the orisha (see: mojo bag, John the Conquerer). Love the way Coogler creates not just sympathy for the devil but gives them a whole culture.
