November 28th at 5 pm. Film Discussion Club invites you to independently view the film „Sirat“ (Dir.. Olivier Lax, 2025) and meeting at the Anykščiai Public Library to discuss.
About the movie:
A vital cinematic tale, captivating with the spirit of rave. At one of the music festivals, Luis (played by actor Sergi López) joins the commune with his son Esteban and his dog Pipa. He is looking for his missing daughter. As he travels deeper and deeper into the burning wilderness together with an alternative community that seeks to forget itself, the hero experiences shocking trials. In Islamic tradition, „Sirat“ means a path or bridge – thinner than a hair and sharper than the sharpest sword. Its purpose is to connect the Last Judgment with Paradise or to separate the latter from Hell. In this film, the bridge stretches between Morocco and Mauritania, and below, instead of the flames of Hell, the Sahara Desert burns your feet. The film captivates with both its images and the music of techno creator Kangding Ray, which shakes, caresses, and sometimes takes you on a journey with no return. The film, produced by the Almodóvar brothers, premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was awarded the Jury Prize.
Warning: Some scenes in the film may be disturbing.
