Once is an academy award winning 2007 Irish musical film, starring professional musicians Glen Hansard (of popular Irish rock band The Frames) & Markéta Irglová as struggling musicians. Set in (a modest)Dublin, although being a musical, it's unlike the showstopping Hollywood's version with people bursting in songs, it's a naturalistic, charming, witty, honest, captivating, inspirational & lyrical tale love, music & friendship; with the great chemistry & sheer songwriting genius of the 2 leads who wrote & performed all but 1 of the original songs in the film (1 of the song "falling slowly" won an 2008 Academy Award & the soundtrack was also a Grammy nominee), we got the soundtrack album immediately after we finished watching the film. Also, Once is ultra low budget production unlike the mega budget musicals like Moulin Rouge; but we have to say if we are to choose 1, we would definitely go for Once, it's simply charming, captivating, inspirational, uplifting & memorable.
