In this charming contemporary musical helmed by John Carney, a street musician (Glen Hansard) in Dublin, Ireland, strikes up a friendship with a migrant street hawker (Markéta Irglová). Over the course of a busy week, they compose, rehearse and record a series of songs that mirror the duo's burgeoning romance -- and help the young busker release his musical passions. The actors wrote the tunes they perform in this film that was recognized at Sundance 2007.

Another great hidden movie. This is a new type of musical. But it doesn't seem like one.
The actors are great. This movie has so much heart. You'll love it.

Rented this yesterday, after reading your review, but they gave me a bad DVD - it only stutters, and sputters, and stops! So, I'll have to return it for another one.
