Begin Again (2013 John Carney & scr)

Keira Knightley (own singing), Mark Ruffalo (Date Night, Shutter Island, The Kids are All Right), Hailee Steinfeld and James Cordon lead us in essentially old-fashioned 'putting on a show' thirties plot, with twist that the numbers performed are all on location on NYC exteriors. Music and performances good, some scenes have an improvisational ring to them. e.g. between Cordon and Knightley.

Ah! Carney made Once, so live urban music and improv both familiar.

Film of the Day.
