Once is the most beautiful, charming movie. It tells the story of an Irish musician who meets a Czech girl immigrant, and their journey and relationship together through music. The title of the post refers to its tagline.
It is poignant, in the way that it is so simplistic in its portrayal of emotions, yet that simplicity evokes profound feelings deep inside of you; it is real, because it is raw and resonates in such a way that such movies can only bring, because it can happen to you.
The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful; so beautiful. The songs "Falling Slowly" and "Lies" stood out for me. (The website link features the soundtrack, so you can have a listen.)
Shot with a budget of only $160,000, it is extremely refreshing and different from the polished, high-end films we often watch on the cinema screens nowadays. Once won the World Cinema Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
If you have the chance, I implore you, please watch this jewel. My review simply can't do it justice.
