The Band's Visit
|
|
M
|
1hr 33min
|
Dolby Digital
|
|
A band comprised of members of the Egyptian police force head to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts center, only to find themselves lost in the wrong town.
The eight members of the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Band, led by Toofik, (SASSON GABAI), arrive at an airport in Israel and find no-one is there to meet them.
They are here to play at the Arab Culture Centre in a provincial town, but the town they arrive at, by bus, is the wrong one – a dot in the desert where culture of any kind is non-existent. However there IS Dina, who runs a local café.
Dina invites Toofik and Khaled, to stay at her place; the others find friendly locals who accommodate them.
This first feature by writer-director Eran Kolirin is at first sight a deceptively simple comedy about fish out of water, but in the end it proves to be much more than that.
This Israeli film, co-produced with French and independent American companies, is a strong plea for friendship and tolerance between Israelis and Arabs, so that underlying the comedy, which is extremely charming and often really funny, is a powerful and important message.
As the nervous, lost Egyptians tentatively get to know their Israeli hosts they find they have a surprising number of things in common, not least a love of music – a scene in which the visitors and their hosts sing Gershwin’s immortal “Summertime” is a gem.
