The Band's Visit - Dvd (2007)Wow, it is mini film fest here in wet and windy Wellington. After being scarred by the horrendous Christmas Tale this afternoon, and the pure rubbish that is NZ TV at the moment, it has been a 2 DVD night. This of course means that the dishes are piled up in the sink, and none of the chores have been done, and it is 1.15 am and my eyes are itchy.
What a sweet little simple film. The police orchestra from Alexandria, Egypt have arrived in the wrong town in Israel to perform their concert. With little money, no motels and a bus due to arrive the next day, the band have to rely on the locals for support.
Not too cliched, you know that Hollywood would have made them do something fabulous for that little dry dessert town, they still manage to impact on those that they meet. 3/5
