The Band's Visit
Israeli gem about an Egyptian police band that gets lost in Israel and ends up making unexpected contact with ordinary Israeli’s in a depressing new town. Yes, it is slow and nothing very dramatic happens but as a vignette of small gestures, this film is highly satisfying. Ronit Elkabetz 
gives a delightful performance as the blowsy Israeli dreamer. The film makes some good points in a quiet way and all in all is an uplifting little film.
