Once

[Michael Pyon]

Watched Once again and it just got me thinking that sometimes a story in a film can be so good that it surpasses the crappy handycam camcorder visuals that is was shot on. Absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite films to date. Shot with a skeleton crew on a Sony HVR Z1U, it still hits the heart more than a ton of other well shot films.

Agreed. Soundtrack is also one of my faves.

Another big fan of this film. It feels like everything just worked here. Its one of those films where I felt that "magic" could not be repeated in another film since many unique factors beyond the technical side just worked: the chemistry of the leads, the unique soundtrack and talent of the lead singer songrwitters (making the film sound incredibly honest), even the handheld "Dogma" style worked perfect for those crude, realistic characters... An unrepeatable film, but a great example that an excellent film doesn't require pristine images to be great.

If you liked "Once", director John Carney is shooting his new movie (currently titled "Can a Song Save Your Life?") right now on the RED Epic.

That's great to hear. Hope it has as much heart and beauty as Once.
