Sirât
directed by Oliver Laxe, Spain/ France 2025, 120'
Sirât is the most electrifying film of this year’s Cannes Festival, where it deservedly won the Jury Prize. The story of a father desperately searching for his daughter amid illegal desert raves in Morocco is a mind-blowing blend of survival thriller in the vein of The Wages of Fear and the apocalyptic vision of Mad Max.
Phenomenally shot, Sirât keeps you on edge, dazzles with Kangding Ray’s outstanding soundtrack, and refuses to be forgotten. This is total cinema!
