Driven to Extremes
Sun 1 - Sun 29 March
One of the many thrilling elements of Olivier Laxe’s striking new film Sirât is a parlous trip on unforgiving roads through the Atlas mountains.
It follows in a tradition of nerve jangling road movies where the journey proves not only a test of character for the participants who are increasingly driven to extreme behaviour, but also a test of nerves for the audience.
