Trippy Adrenaline-Fueled Trailer for the Oscar Nominated Feature SIRAT
The US trailer has been released for the Cannes Film Festival Award-Winning and Oscar nominated film Sirat, previously titled Sirât.
The movie is the fourth from filmmaker Óliver Laxe, who previously directed You All Are Captains, Mimosas, and Fire Will Come. The screenplay is co-written by Laxe and Santiago Fillol. Sirat stars Sergi López and Bruno Núñez as a father and son, who are searching for their missing daughter/sister in the brutal desert of North Africa.
The full synopsis reads: “A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar — their daughter and sister — who has vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties.
“Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party out in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.”
This looks like an edge-of-your-seat film unlike any other, and its reviews suggest it’s one to watch. Check out the trailer below, and watch Sirat in select US theaters on February 6th.
