*Sirāt*


I thought this was one of the five or six best movies of the millennium so far, comparable in quality to say Uncle Boonmee or Winter Sleep.  The soundtrack is one of the very best, ever.  The production is joint Spanish and French.  The story starts with a Spanish father looking for his lost (grown) daughter at a rave in Morocco. He then meets up with some other parties and a story ensues.  I do not consider it a spoiler to report that I consider this a movie about the end of the world, so to speak.  Here is the trailer for the film.

It has been playing in NYC and LA for a while, and this Friday it opens for a week in many more cities.  The big screen is essential, so see it while you can.
