The Band's Visit (Bikur Hatizmoret) Trailer



Not long ago, an Egyptian police band arrived in Israel, to play at the Arab Cultural Center. But they took the wrong bus.

I saw this movie tonight. It was incredible. It was quiet, slow, beautiful -- and out-loud-laughing funny. Knowing the resentment between Arabs and Jews, this film begs for them to just look at each other, and see themselves for who they are -- the same people. It was brilliant. You shouldn't miss it.
