Review of The Band's Visit (2007) by Sarah P — 02 Aug 2011
It was strange, watching this one. Went with a friend to see this movie that takes place clear across the world, starring people I'd never heard of in a place I'd never been.. and then an actor made his appearance, and I realized, Wow, I met him! Ha! An Israeli actor/comedian/musician I met after a show in Chicago is in this and it was a total surprise.
Anyway, this movie itself is also a total surprise. It starts slow, sure, but it's a genuinely beautiful and emotionally stirring film. Haven't seen it in a few years but watching the trailer makes me want to get my hands on it again, and soon!
I recommend to those who are into more foreign/independent-y stuff. If you're more the blockbuster type, this might not be for you.
