Once
MPAA Rating Reason Running Time Distributor Theatrical Release date R Lnguage 99 minutes Fox Searchlight Pictures May 16, 2007 (limited) June 15, 2007 (wide) The first thing that this movie reminds me of is the 2005 film “Before Sunset” in which two people converse after spending nine years apart. The main characters of “Once” and the movie itself is kind of like that; instead of politics, though, they take about music. The film is set in Ireland, and tells the week-long friendship of a boy (Glen Hansard) and a girl (Markéta Irglovâ) and their love for music. I’m not kidding, those are really their character names. The boy plays and writes song on his guitar, and works at his father’s shop where they fix vacuum cleaners. The boy and the girl are from different cultures: he’s originally from Ireland, and she’s from the Czech Republic. They are both in a relationship, although it is implied that mutual attraction grows over the course of a week
