14 octobre The Band's VisitAnother good debut, although a bit soporific. Egyptian police band gets lost in Israeli remote. The film has some very good moments and some it could live without. And who was the first to think that plaintive folk songs over the long shots of deserted landscape are poetic? I always wonder. The actors make up for the director's uncertainties, though. I heard Sasson Gabai, who plays the main part, is of the most famous actors in Israel. The movie heavily relies on body language and, specifically, mimics. It does not delve into differences and tries to find common places, being thoroughly apolitical. The director confessed that the film is a complete fantasy. Indeed, this situation could hardly happen in today's Middle East. Anyway, it just seems that one could develop that story into much livelier movie. However, that would diminish its chances to be nominated for Oscar from Israel, because the elite loves melancholy. It's very appealing melancholy at times, though. 3.5/4. I liked another Israeli movie - The Secrets (Ha Sodot) - more.
