Last weekend I saw the movie "Once". I LOVED it!! I had never heard of Glen Hansard, but now I'm a fan. He's lovely, as is his costar & collaborator on all the music in the movie, Markéta Irglová. The 2 even won an Acadamy Award in 2008: Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) - "Falling Slowly" from this movie. It's a contemporary musical & filmed with a sort of documentary/real life feel. It's just great. Really great.

Oooh I could have written this post myself. lol I saw it about 2 weeks ago, borrowed it from the library. Fantastic awesomeness!
I liked it too! :)
Oh yes! That is a wonderful movie. Falling Slowly has to be one of my favourite songs to date.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I LOVED this movie too!!!!
Been folowing along with your blog for a few days now and am really enjoying it.
Love, love, love this movie! The passion he has when he plays guitar! Life is imitating art, they are a real couple now. Just saw them on Austin City Limits a week or too ago.
You've got great taste in movies! My little brother introduced us to this film a while back. We immediately bought the soundtrack too. It's so sweet...ah! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it as well.
One of my favorites--I'm glad you liked it too! I got the dvd of them in concert for Christmas. I love their music!!
Add me to the list of Once lovers! Great film.....
Ohhhhh, yes. What a great film. When I saw this a year or so ago, I didn't know what to expect. I was just floored by the music, so raw and tender at the same time. And I love the fact that they left the ending sort of open for interpretation. Yes, great. I agree. Really great.
OMG this is one of my fave movies ever and the music!! **gasp**
