Sirat (15)

Oliver Laxe’s unforgettable, brilliantly original Sirāt – now Oscar-nominated for Best International Feature and Best Sound – propels desert ravers into a hallucinatory vision of the future.

In the Moroccan desert, Luis (Sergi López) and his son Esteban (Brúno Nuñez) join up with a group of ravers while searching for Luis’ daughter. Descending far into the scorched terrain as a global conflict encroaches, they walk a tightrope between heaven and hell. A film about the human condition that swings between euphoria and devastation, soundtracked by ear-splitting techno and whistling desert winds, Sirāt feels like a modern classic.

"The best film of the year.  An astonishing experience of singularly transfixing power. I left it invigorated and grateful anew for the ground beneath my feet" The New Yorker 
“A life-changing cinematic experience" Rolling Stone
