User Review

The film "Sirat" begins with an explanation of its title. In Islam, the word “sirat” refers to the bridge that connects heaven and hell. And crossing it is practically impossible, for it is no thicker than a hair or the edge of a knife blade...

A film bearing such a profound and meaningful religious title cannot be mere entertainment. And this is indeed the case—‘Sirat’ is capable of plunging any viewer into the deepest depression and forcing them to contemplate the most existential questions about the essence of the human being as both an individual and a part of society.

And it all begins quite trivially. A man walks with his son through a deserted area where a music festival is taking place. He offers each person present a look at a photo of his adult daughter and tries to find out if anyone has seen her. The father has been searching for her for five months and believes she might be among these hippie-like, dancing people.

The plot ultimately revolves around the father, his son, and a group of young people who have all set out together into the desert in search of another rave.

“It feels like the end of the world,” says one of the hippie characters, realizing he’s in the middle of nowhere in terrible weather conditions. Another replies that he’s felt that way for a long time. Viewers, watching this group of people who have distanced themselves as much as possible from modern society, its rules, and its goals, clearly realize that these hippies are utterly disillusioned with the world and with life. And they really have no destination.

But the father does have a destination and a reason for the journey. It is very important and very urgent. Moreover, he has a responsibility toward his son. And while viewers await the resolution, watching the hardships of this motley crew’s journey, a fairly realistic story about the search for a missing person transforms into an almost mystical parable, as detached from earthly concerns as possible.

Soon, we find ourselves alongside the characters in a situation where nothing matters. The missing daughter doesn’t matter. Having water and food doesn’t matter. The ability to continue the journey by car doesn’t matter. Nothing matters... Because there are only a couple of people, the desert, and death.

This French-Spanish film by Oliver Laiche won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and has a 96% rating out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes. And as a work of art, it is truly impressive. A sort of horror film disguised as a drama. A film that evokes a flood of emotions in the viewer, yet achieves this in the most minimalist way possible. A film that surprises, but doesn’t intrigue. A film about the end of the world, in which there is no global apocalypse—and is therefore far more terrifying. After all, it’s one thing if your world is crumbling alongside everyone else’s. It’s a completely different matter if you and your world are destroyed, but you keep on living...

Yeah... Based on what I’ve written above, it’s clearly hard to understand what the film is about and whether it’s worth watching. I won’t retell the plot—that would be a disservice to you. But ‘Sirat’ is worth watching if you’re a fan of highly artistic, metaphorical films. It addresses the same theme that less talented authors have been tackling head-on in recent years. It’s about what we all experience and realize to some extent in reality—the collapse of the old world and old values. It’s about the impossibility of escaping, the impossibility of saving anyone, and the impossibility of choosing the right steps.

'Sirat' is a pessimistic film. Much more pessimistic than you might expect from the synopsis. So if you’re already in a bad mood, you’re probably better off skipping it.
