A fading Egyptian police band arrives in Israel to play at the Arab Cultural Centre. When they take the wrong bus, the band members find themselves in a desolate Israeli village. With no other option than to spend the night with the local townspeople, the two distinctly different cultures realise the universal bonds of love, this cross-cultural comedy proves that getting lost is sometimes the best way to find yourself.

The Band's Visit review by JD
Small budget and slow
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Many films are based around singers or musicians because of the obvious advantage of musical interludes. I find it distastful when the actors have obviously never seen the instrument before or when the singer makes little effort to mime convincingly. When it is a film with very average actors you hope that they are in fact musicians. In this film there are few musical interludes, which is a blessing as they are poor.
Why did this film get so many accolades. Probably back-handers, but also some interesting understated acting in a desolate and boring setting with a slow plot makes for a surreal experience.
