Sirāt

A father hunts for his missing daughter in this tense Spanish thriller, but it’s not clear what director Óliver Laxe intends beyond provocation.

The pulse-pounding Sirat goes full Burning Man as the world burns.

A modern-day Apocalypse Now, a visual and aural trip that’s as abstract and surreal as it is stark and realistic, Sirat urges us to embrace each other, as the world swells and throbs around us.

...a reminder of what movies can do when they loosen the restraints of traditional narrative and remember that images are meant to evoke as much as they are to explain.

A phenomenal and unique portrait of a group of thrill-seeking ravers enter into a spiritual abyss in this extraordinary new film by Oliver Laxe.

...a stunning, opaque masterpiece.
