The Band’s Visit 8

People meeting people from different cultures, totally by chance; who adapts how; who learns what – these are the themes of this totally pleasant, low-budget charmer.  You wouldn’t be surprised if many of these people had never seen a film, let alone been in one.  The Israeli restaurant owner Dina is unable to seduce the Egyptian orchestra leader Tewfiq, but no one is hurt, and Khaled is there to help out. Does this film try to suggest that Israelis and Arabs could get along, if you could only get the politicians out of the way?
