If you love the sweetness of simplicity; this one is for you. The movie is called “Once” and it won the 2007 Sundance Film Festival Award for best original song.
The movie, a tender story of two people living seperate lives, on the same page, who find each other is simple and yet brilliant. Taking place in Berlin, she sells flowers as a street vendor and he, a musician performs on the same corner each day with his guitar and compelling, original songs. The movie has an air about it that makes you want to be there.
I highly recommend it. The integrity and simple lives of these two people is something that is so missing in our world today.

All of the songs in this movie are just as hypnotic as this one. This is definitely one to add to your movie collection. It was filmed with hand held video cameras and the couple (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) are a couple in real life. Their humble demeanor as they received their academy award for best song is truly amazing. It will get your heart when you watch it. I want to know these two!
