Part existential road movie, part apocalyptic sci-fi, Sirât mixes a bit of Zabriskie Point and 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.
Advisory content: strong violence, strong language, upsetting scenes
"An energising film — a project determined to wake us up."
