(John Carney / 2006 / Ireland / 35mm / 85 mins / Cert 15)
(Thu 27th - Sun 30th / 9pm / £4/3)
If the words ‘Irish musical’ conjure up unpleasant images of Finian’s Rainbow, then it is time you checked out new cinematic phenomenon Once. A surprise hit outside its native country, the film has attracted plaudits from such diverse fans as Bob Dylan and Steven Spielberg. Made with an almost documentary realism with DV cameras on the streets of Dublin, the film is a modern day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story in dirty old music shops and flats. Bawdy and brilliant, Once is modern filmmaking at its finest.
