Once
Why we love it ❤️
Once trusts its music to carry what the characters cannot say, and since Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová wrote the songs, they carry it 🎵 The romance is real but deliberately incomplete in a way that feels honest rather than frustrating. Shot on the streets of Dublin with a documentary looseness that makes everything feel like it could actually happen to someone.
Where can I watch Once?
What is Once about?
Once follows a Dublin street musician, known only as Guy, who dreams of a music career while working in his father's vacuum repair shop. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets a Czech flower seller, known only as Girl, who is also a talented pianist and songwriter. Discovering a shared passion for music, they begin collaborating on songs that reflect their complicated, evolving connection. The film is notable for its raw, indie feel and the genuine performances by real-life musicians Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who also wrote much of the soundtrack.
