New US Teaser for Brilliant ‘Sirat’ Film Set in the Deserts of Morocco

“Is this what the end of the world feels like?” Yes. Neon has revealed the official US trailer for the highly acclaimed, award-winning, best-of-the-year film Sirat – created by Spanish-French filmmaker Óliver Laxe as his fourth feature. It premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where it was regarded as one of the best films at the fest that deserved to win the Palme d’Or. Now it’s opening in US theaters starting in November. After his daughter disappears at a rave, a father travels to Morocco up into the mountains with his son to search for her. She has been missing for months and they travel into the rave scene in hopes of finding her. Starring Sergi López & Bruno Núñez as the father & son. The title is a reference to this concept in Islam, “sirat” refers to a narrow bridge spanning the chasm of Hell, which believers are said to cross on the Day of Judgment. It’s also a broader concept representing the “straight path” of righteousness and guidance, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. I wrote in my glowing review at Cannes: “Óliver Laxe’s Sirat is a techno-filled desert odyssey that will leave everyone breathless. A must watch for all cinephiles.” This film RULES! This trailer shows quite a bit, but doesn’t reveal all of it thankfully. Don’t miss experiencing this in theaters. // Continue Reading ›
