The Bands Visit is slow, BUT somehow compelling & interesting.

The Bands Visit.A film from from Isreal was filmed in the very barren Negrev Desert.

An Egyptian 10 member band is stranded in a very isolated area in the desert. They are helped by people at a small diner.

This is a nice film, non violent, no sex scenes,very few so called objectionable words,BUT it is not grim even tho it is about lonely people.

It is also short 82 minutes plus 5 minutes of credits.

They all seem lonely & lost. It also has a charm that will make you enjoy what you are seeing, while you are seeing it.

The acting seems very natural,the production values are good, the film was obviously made on a very tight budget.

I would recommend seeing this with another film,it really is a co-feature & not a main movie.

Ratings *** (out of 4) 82 points (out of 100) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
