Review of The Band's Visit (2007) by Countess N — 15 Oct 2009
A handful of Egyptian musicians - members of a police orchestra - visit Israel to give a concert but arriving at the airport nobody is waiting for them and they get lost. This colourful story is told with a lot of humour and equally much drama. A beautiful story which shines in its simplicity.
Not exactly an Oscar winner, maybe a bit slow, but certainly worth watching, even though if it were with the aim to escape for a while from Hollywood.
