 Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin's debut is the tale of an Egyptian ceremonial band that gets stranded in in a small Israeli town. A subtle, heartfelt, and humane work, the film illustrates and then dissolves the complex cultural divide that continues to plague the Middle East. "You can watch The Band's Visit for its political idealism, or you can watch it for entertainment value alone. In either case, it doesn't disappoint." -Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune " It's a small, profoundly satisfying movie that keeps echoing long after it's over." Ty Burr, Boston Globe (PG-13 In English, Arabic and Hebrew with subtitles.89 min.)
