once…

A masterful piece of film, which integrates documentary style cinematography with raw unadulterated musical passion. It was like watching an hour and a half music video, but with none of the scantily clad women or reference to bling-blang.

My brother told me about the soundtrack to this movie yesterday (although I don’t think he has seen the movie yet) and after buying the soundtrack via a iTunes gift card (Thank you Hudiburg Family), I convinced a few friends (they are girls… its a romantic movie… hence and easy sell) to rent the movie and we watched it last night.

Brilliant. Cool. Irish. Gypsy. Love. Life. Mess. Passion.

Just a few words that come to mind if I were doing a free association exercise. I recommend this flick if you enjoy these three things: independent music, documentaries, Irish people cussing. If you don’t like any one of these, I would recommend you get a life and stop watching smutty, overproduced broadcast television. Cool.
