Mubi Acquires Oliver Laxe’s Cannes Competition Entry ‘Sirât’ for Italy, Turkey and India
Mubi’s shopping spree of Cannes competition titles is continuing at pace, with company buying Oliver Laxe's 'Sirât' for Italy, Turkey and India
The distributor, streaming platform and production company has now picked up “Sirât,” Oliver Laxe’s hugely well-received feature, marking the 9th Cannes 2025 competition entry to join Mubi’s upcoming slate. Brúno Nuñez, Stefania Gadda, Joshua Liam Henderson, Tonin Janvier, Jade Oukid and Richard Bellamy also star in the film, which Variety ‘s review described as a “brilliantly bizarre, cult-ready vision of human psychology tested to its limits.” The acquisition of “Sirât” comes just a day after Mubi announced multi-territory deals for Kleber Mendonça Filho’s “The Secret Agent,” Mascha Schilinski’s “Sound of Falling” and Jafar Panahi’s “It Was Just an Accident.” Earlier in the festival and in one of the biggest swings, it snapped up Lynne Ramsey’s “Die My Love,” and later Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value.” Before Cannes had already begun, it acquired U.S. rights to “History of Sound,” while Mubi produced “The Mastermind” and retained several territories.
