Begin Again is this Summer's Perfect Film

Every summer, there's that one movie that comes along that no one sees coming that's just a huge ball of, for lack of a better word, fun; it's sunny, breezy and just an all around delight, much like summer vacation.


"Begin Again" is from the director and writer John Carney who brought us the lovely musical "Once" (I'm sure you all know the song Falling Slowly, and if you don't make sure you know it, and watch the film), starring Academy Award nominees Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo as 2 people who meet at an unexpectedly sour crossroads in their lives, but help, and inspire one another to get back on the right track through creating an album no one believed they could make on their own. Carney obviously has a passion for music, and this film is his love letter to the medium; The film is a testament to the power of music, and how much of a labor of love it is, but ultimately how much of an impact it has on our lives.
