Part existential road movie, part apocalyptic sci-fi, Sirât mixes a bit of Zabriskie Point and Mad Max: Fury Road and shakes them up. Some of its images are indelible, in the same way Antonioni’s were in 1970, but French-Spanish director Óliver Laxe’s major weapon here is his sound design, a weaponised barrage of techno with sub-bass that hits like an earthquake and rumbles in the gut. Shared jury prize at 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Cast - Sergi Lopez, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Jade Oukid, Tonin Janvier, Richard Bellamy, Stefania Gadda. In French and Spanish with English subtitles.
Screening as part of French Film Festival 2025.
