SYNOPSIS
He (Glen Hansard) is a musician, during the day helping his father in the store, and leaving the job is carried out with the guitar on his shoulder, to the streets of Dublin to sing his songs. She (Marketa Irglova) has just arrived in the city, to get ahead, selling roses to passers who walk through the bustling center, his passion for piano. Their stories will cross one night and the meeting will create new compositions and a growing passion and quiet.
COMMENT
This is not a great film aesthetic and intellectual approaches. On the contrary, to enjoy it, to taste its true essence is just go with the sentimental proposal that makes its director and screenwriter, John Carney. And here is where lies its success, it is not easy to tell a story so simple and while you trap and be convincing. This is achieved by printing the film a realistic tone dialing, where Dublin's streets become the perfect setting that houses the comings and goings of these two characters, of these two lonely people who find in music a way to express their feelings. Carney
uses a number of credible resources to make this simple story, shot in digital format, which adds freshness and proximity, has semi-professional actors (both from the world of music), the songs are well embedded in The film shows, giving the film a great soundtrack. Once
is, above all, without hiding it at any time, a love story as universal as the same pop, a small tile of veiled feelings that arise between two people in the shade (or memory) of two separate lovers, as in Desiring Love Wong Kar-wai, told with tact, restraint dramatic and infinite affection for the characters. Test
good reception of the film have been the audience awards at festivals in Sundance and Dublin (2007).
