Guests of the Nation

A lovely little exploration of how, despite any surface differences, we're all the same underneath it all. What was even better than the scenes unfolding, though, was the live orchestral score which was magnificent.

I enjoyed the film overall, although a little less information about the overall outcome (spoiler alert basically) would have been appreciated in the introductory speech from the director's son, although I have to say, he was very funny and engaging otherwise. The use of mirrors to light the faces of the players becomes quite strange, the story develops in the second half more than the first, and there's so,e choppy editing.

Definitely worth a watch though, especially if you get a live score.
