"Trances" (Transes) is a picture unlike any other: a poetic, roving documentary-portrait performance-film based around the Moroccan band Nass El Ghiwane. In this rare, transformational work, Nass El Ghiwane perform their music at concerts at once fervidly rally-like and suffused with the spontaneity of a mass happening; recount their time working alongside the great chaabi musician Boudjemaa El Ankis in the 1970's; and generally philosophise and reflect upon life. True to its title, 'Trances' is an hypnotic, exhilarating masterwork.
