Once (2007)

The Projectors

Musicals are on the docket all November long but not every film is an adaptation and this one popped off as a movie before the stage show. An easy adaptation as you have two singing leads and only a handful of actors needed. While this modern musical had its pre-production ups and downs, this very budget tight Irish film that cost only $150k performed surprisingly well at the box office and received an award winning reputation. We’re talking about the John Carney film from 2007 called “ONCE” with the leads being Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglova of the music group “Swell Season”. A passionate love story of a musician and an immigrant girl in Dublin who motivate each other but can their circumstance allow for them to be together? A story in which life came to imitate in a way and Angela, our MOVIEHUMPERS Gossip and celebrity reporter, spills all the tea with some ball scorching behind the scenes information that is sure to make you stay in your seat and calmly take in. Does ONCE rank among the musical film greats? What is the secret behind the scenes? Did he just tell her to “shut up”? Giiiiiirrrrrrrrlllllll….
