Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me By Your Name, Challengers and After the Hunt, interviews Oliver Laxe about his Oscar-nominated film Sirât.

Laxe’s hallucinatory journey drifts between road movie, political parable and ritual. Passing through ambiguous, borderless geographies, its hypnotic rhythm reorients our senses. Performances shine, from non-professional nomadic ravers to Sergi López's grieving father. Both highly tactile and metaphysical, with meaning pulsating beneath its surface, Sirât invites us to trace our own path through the desert mirage.
