"What if you shouldn't end the concert with trumpets or violins, but just like this, a small room, with a lamp, a baby and loads of loneliness...?"
This is what Simon is told by Itsak in "The Band's Visit" (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) as a reflection on his own life.
This sweet and sour dramatic comedy directed by Eran Kolirin is deeply moving. It makes you laugh in order not to cry. Full of human situations, of loneliness, of desperation, of deprivation, hope still lures arround.
An Egyptian band is invited to perform at Bet Hatikva, but the bus that ought to pick them up at the airport, never arrives. The leader, Tewfiq, determined to carry on with the show, decides to take things in his hands, but sends Khaled, the Casanova, to find out the next bus there. However, Khaled is so charmed by the eyes of the ticket seller that he mispronounces and says Pet Hatikva instead. When the band finds out they are in the wrong place and that they have to spend the night there, they introduce us to a range of characters led by Dina, the beautiful and single restaurant owner who falls immediately for Tewfiq.
A film full of emotions, laughter and stories that mix and open new horizons..or not?

Sin duda alguna, lo de los nuevos horizontes.
ReplyDeleteCreo que a todos nos llegó esta frase, tanto que también la voy a postear.
y... no fue al revés? jajaja, según yo van a tocar en Pet Hatikva, pero llegan a Bet, porque eso decía el letrero.
ahh, me gustó mucho, me gustó "el general" porque me lo imagino en sus años mozos y el guapo Khaled jeje.
Nope, verifiqué en un par de sitios en Internet.
