Once

I saw Once this weekend. It is a story of two struggling people who find each other in Dublin and discover they are a perfect musical match. The two characters are Glen Hansard, lead singer of The Frames, and Marketa Irglova, a young multi-talented singer/songwriter from Prague. The movie is so lovely in its simplicity and in its truthful portrayal of music making. The songs are achingly beautiful and memorable, making you want to run out and download the soundtrack immediately. I felt a stab of longing when the couple began creating songs together, missing that part of myself. Rent it or make a trip to Indy and enjoy.
