Busker Glen Hansard meets immigrant Markéta Irglová on the streets of Dublin and they begin to make music together. Heart-warming and witty (e.g. her walking along leading her hoover). And the songs are great, particularly the one she sings on the way home in a long take. 'Falling Slowly' won the Oscar.
The camerawork is amusingly primitive - the film had a budget of €30.
That extract from Mendelssohn 'Song Without Words' is grand, so it is, so it is.
