So, this is "The Band's Visit"..., well, let me tell you: You can have it. Let's start from the beginning: I saw it wearing headphones, and it was very strange to see these uniformed group of musicians walking a block away from camera, but hearing their heavy steps on the pavement making the same noise as the dinosaurs (or whatever their name is) that were walking in Jurassic Park: Every step sounded like if Godzilla was walking behind my back!! the same with the traffic noise, it was augmented about a thousand times sounding like the worst Kansas tornado behind my screen monitor.
Now about the directing: Every scene is unnecessarily too long and every question issued by one of the actors takes the recipient about 10-20 seconds to answer, and this procedure is maintained throughout the whole film, and if they are not barely talking (none of them seems to be too fluent in the difficult art of conversation), then the long immovable takes become quite unbearable.
Very-very irritating. The script is gray and unmemorable, dull, like all the characters save the woman owner of the Israeli restaurant, the only character with life in it, the rest are kind of zombies walking from left to right on the screen and then from right to left, till the end of the movie.
All the men portrayed in this movie are as dumb as they come, and again, only the restaurant owner shows some intelligence in her eyes and liveliness in her manners.
How can people be so dull!!!
Are they saying in this movie that all policemen are that dumb and pathetic? well, I don't care a hoot, a total waste of time, of money, of everything (and now I have to go to the video store to return this copy).
