The central motif of the movie Sinners… is the continuity between the musical bliss of blues and the horror of vampires. However, what if we read this continuity in the opposite direction …? Vampires do not fill the void of the impossibility of imagining a non-oppressive social order; their horror is the truth of every oppressive social order, and the bliss of immortal blues music is experienced only when we remain at a minimal distance from this truth.
