By Tim Jackson Sirāt is a heart-stopping, surreal reflection of our contemporary moment. Sirāt, directed by Óliver Laxe. Screening at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on March 5. A scene from Sirāt. Photo: Neon Produced by Pedro Almodóvar and his brother Agustín, Sirāt opens on an undisclosed stretch of the Moroccan desert. We see workers with rough hands stack and then align towering walls of speakers. Switches are flicked; a synthesizer hums to life.
