THE BAND'S VISIT
Israeli 2007

If the animosity between Israel and the Arab states can desolve, it can only be helped by lovely films like this. In many directors hands this would have been a predictable and cute comedy instead of a deft exploration of the commonality of humanity.

Sasson Gabai, Ronit Elkabetz, Saleh Bakri; Directed by Eran Kolirin.
