Composers: Glen Hansard; Marketa Irglova.
While many movies use actors to play musicians, the Irish indie film ONCE enlisted singer-songwriters Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova to portray two Dubliners on the edge of romance. The couple's real-life chemistry not only translated to a compelling, crowd-pleasing tale, it yielded a subtly beautiful soundtrack, which consists largely of thoughtful chamber-pop tunes by Hansard, some of which previously appeared (in slightly altered form) on the Frames' THE COST and his prior collaboration with Irglova, THE SWELL SEASON. Highlights of the collection include the gentle "Falling Slowly" and the urgent "When Your Mind's Made Up," tracks that elegantly echo the emotional ups and downs of the lauded film.

    Indeed Once is a one of a kind gem. As a musician I can truly appreciate & am amazed at the quality & talent in this movie. Instantly on seeing it I purchased it for my DVD music collection, then order the soundtrack. This is a classic, `Once ~in a Lifetime` & a definite classic. Everyone who's come over to see have been touched.
