![]() Irglova is an immigrant from the Czech Republic, only 17 years old, who had not acted before. Hansard is a professional musician, well known in Ireland as leader of a band named the Frames. They are just purely and simply themselves. We sense to a rare degree the real feelings of the two of them there's no overlay of technique, effect or style. They love music, and they're not faking it. They aren't “picking each other up.” They aren't flirting - or, well, technically they are, but in that way that means, “I'm not interested unless you're too good to be true.” This is working partly because of the deeply good natures we sense these two people have. There is an unusual delay before we get the obligatory reaction shot of the store owner, because all the movie wants to do is sit there and listen, too. She takes him to a music store where she knows the owner, and they use a display piano. He attracts an audience of the Girl ( Marketa Irglova). ![]() ![]() The film is set in Dublin, where we see a street musician singing for donations. Even the ending is the right ending, the more you think about it. ![]()
