Probably gives away a lot of Fly Away Home if you haven’t seen it yet, but an excellent example of a song that is an important part of a film, instead of just being tacked on in the hope of getting an award nomination. In this video, you don’t see the scene in which it is actually used. For that, you’ll have to find a copy of this 1996 movie.
Being several days ago, I have forgotten the dinner part. The movie is wonderful, the story of an Egyptian police band stranded in a tiny Israeli town. Wariness on all sides, and high awkwardness as a few Israelis extend food and other hospitality to the visitors. But, as all the principals discover, music is a universal language, never more than when seated around a somewhat hostile dinner table, singing ‘Summertime’ in English.
And btw, do you speak Chet Baker?
