Once Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: John Carney, Country: Ireland, Release: 2006, Runtime: 85 When not playing for change, an Irish street musician fixes vacuum cleaners in his father’s repair shop. One day, a flower-selling Czech immigrant shows up with her broken vacuum and announces that she is also a musician. Drawn to each other—and to each other’s musical talents—they launch a career together. With time, their musical bond becomes even more personal. Director John Carney has cast musicians, rather than actors, in these finely drawn roles, and the result, a kind of cinema verité musical, is near perfect. Dubliner John Carney began his film career directing music videos for the Irish band The Frames, as well as directing two award-winning short films. He also co-wrote and directed three episodes of the hit Radio Telefís Éireann television series, Bachelors Walk.
