Once

6/10

ONCE (2007). Pleasant little Irish film about a street busker who meets a young Czech woman and starts playing music with her. The film was made for virtually nothing with unknowns (Glen Hansard was in The Commitments), and its appeal comes from its simplicity, the feeling between the two leading actors and the quality of the music that they compose and play together. And it avoids the cliched ending.
