SIRAT (15) 1h 54m

Dir: Oliver Laxe

Cast: Sergi López, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Stefania Gadda

Genre: Drama

A father looking for his daughter joins a community of hedonistic travellers on a journey that will change all their lives, in Óliver Laxe’s existential speculative thriller.

Exploring themes of endurance, surrender and inner stillness, Óliver Laxe’s striking, wholly original existential thriller is a richly sensory encounter that lingers long after viewing. A father, with his son in tow, searches the Moroccan desert for his daughter, who absconded from home and might have taken up with a group of revellers seeking an alternative way of living. What starts out as a remarkable, other-worldly journey, transforms into a meditative inquiry into loss, grief and spirituality. Central to the film is its evocative score – a powerhouse of churning, grinding techno by composer Kanding Ray. More than an accompaniment, the music operates as an emotional, spatial and temporal modulator – one that invites us to abandon interpretation and submit to Laxe’s and utterly unique perspective on the world. A visually and aurally arresting road trip, which demands to be seen on the biggest screen, Sirât is a profound work by one of contemporary cinema’s most distinctive and poetic voices.

Bar opens from 7pm serving our fabulous cocktails, fine wines and craft beers, as well as savoury and sweet snacks.
