The new film Once is out at UK cinemas this weekend and I recently spoke to director John Carney about the film.
It is a charming tale of the relationship between a Dublin busker (Glen Hansard) and a Czech girl (Marketa Irglova) he meets on the street.
Featuring a lot of songs by Hansard and Irglova, it is a music film without being a musical and was a big hit at Sundance back in January.
So much so in fact that Fox Searchlight released it and the film won a lot of fans, including none other than Steven Spielberg who said:
“A little movie called Once gave me enough inspiration to last the rest of the year.”
I spoke with John about the making of the film and the success it has enjoyed over the last few months.
