THE BAND’S VISIT (12 A)
Director: Eran Kolirin. Starring: Sasson Gabai, Saleh Bakri, Ronit Elkabetz. Israel/France 2006. 87 minutes. In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles.
Members of a small Egyptian police band arrive in Israel to perform at a cultural event. When there is no delegation to meet them, they lose their way and find themselves stranded overnight in a remote town without hotels. THE BAND’S VISIT is funny, lonely, inspiring, sad, and beautiful all at once and has won the hearts of audiences wherever it has played.
Delightful comedy with a subtle script and charming performances from its three leads.

What matters is the sense of exhilaration you take away with you.
– Sandra Hall in The Sydney Morning Herald.
I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying it.
– Derek Malcolm in This is London.
