Once
Once is a heartwarming musical drama directed by John Carney, about the unlikely connection between two musicians in Dublin. The film follows a street musician and a Czech immigrant who share a passion for music and form an impromptu collaboration. Featuring original music by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, the film’s songs and performances became a key part of its emotional resonance. Once is a poignant and intimate story about love, aspiration, and the power of music to bridge divides. Its success earned the film an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the track “Falling Slowly.”
