Preview: The Band's Visit (2008)
|
Poster: C
Review:
The poster just sits there. There's nothing eye-catching or interesting and that could be thanks to the fact that it's almost entirely white with a perwinkle blue uniforms acting as the only focal point. It's hardly notable.
Trailer: B
Review:
Avoiding attempts at broad comedy, The Band's Visit looks like a quietly subversive pic featuring fish-out-of-water humor that doesn't feel forced like most American features.
Oscar Prospects:
Disqualified by the Foreign Language Film committee for containing too much English, The Band's Visit, a huge winner at the Isreali Academy Awards, won't find release until 2008 and is unlikely to be remembered come Oscar time.
Release Date:
February 8, 2008
Synopsis Review:
I have not seen this film.
