Review of The Band's Visit (2007) by Rika O — 17 Dec 2008
An Egyptian Police band finds themselves stranded in a barren Israeli town and they spend the night getting to know their lonely, yet optimistic hosts. Memories of war and decades of mistrust surface in some quarters but the band and the locals come to discover that they have more in common than they ever could have known.
Quiet, calm and evenly paced, this delightfully simple film gives us a beautiful story of people from very different backgrounds finding common ground and brief but fulfilling friendships.
