Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Max Copeman

Taking its name from the Arabic word for a bridge between heaven and hell, this mercilessly tense thriller from Galician writer/director Oliver Laxe holds its audience in a vice-like grip. It follows Luis (Sergi López), a middle-aged Spanish man who takes his pre-teen son and dog to an illegal rave in the Moroccan desert, having heard that his missing daughter might be there. When it gets shut down, he continues his search by following a group of partygoers (many of whom played by non-professional actors) towards the Mauritanian border. A perilous road trip follows, and as Luis becomes a fish increasingly out of water, nods to Heart of Darkness or Mad Max give way to the four-wheeled hallucinatory kicks of William Friedkin thriller Sorcerer. There are breathtakingly cruel bumps in the road and a political backdrop that may feel inelegantly plotted, but such concerns give way to the overall sensory experience - and an existential edge to the survival story. As an electronic music score sends basslines throbbing and the ravers' subwoofers pulsing, this utterly exhilarating film becomes a parable for our relationship with fate and the sublime.
