A very spectacular movie appeared today in a nice dvd screener from HLS. The Band’s Visit or “Bikur Ha-Tizmoret” is an Israeli movie which was premiered at Cannes and already received 10 film awards so far and secures an insane-high IMDB rating of 8.2/10. Audio is partially English, but mostly Arabic or Hebrew, so you will really appreciate included English subtitles.
An Egyptian band gets stranded in a nowhere Israeli desert town in “The Band’s Visit,” a warm and delightful take on cross-cultural relations that proves that sometimes a light touch is just what’s needed to address serious topics. Novice helmer Eran Kolirin has a playful eye for compositions and a fine touch with thespers, occasionally playing on the borders of cute but reining in before going to the wrong side of sentiment. An audience charmer that’s sure to sweep Israel — and Egypt too if allowed to open — offshore arms will be more than welcoming.
