Once is a movie about a busker and an immigrant creating music, falling in love and fixing vacuums in Dublin, Ireland. Playing the role of "The Guy" is Glen Hansard, the lead singer of the popular Irish band The Frames, and playing opposite of him is young actress Markéta Irglová, or "The Girl." In addition to having one of the best soundtracks of 2007, Once is also a most realistic love story. Over one week of time you will witness two individuals falling in love as they consider how their lives would change if they allowed their relationship to move to the next level. The movie was written and directed by John Carney and all the songs were written and composed by Hansard and Irglová. The budget for the movie was around $160,000 with many of the extras being friends of the band! Once is a movie you will definitely want to see more than twice!
NOTE: Both the DVD and Soundtrack for Once are available as AV Hot Picks! A new service that immediately provides many popular CDs and DVDs for a short three day check out.
Another NOTE: I just watched Hansard and Irglová sing the Oscar nominated sing "Falling Slowly" on the Academy Awards show. If they do not win, there is no justice in the world. Great performance!
One More NOTE: THEY WON!!
