We just watched what is now my favorite movie of the year: Once.  I was completely mesmerized by it.  60% of the movie is music -- brilliant, heartbreaking, authentic, real music.  This is a beautiful story told in such a simple way that just really connected with me.  Like Jess said: "The music sounds like the story."  These aren't actors who can sing, these are real musicians who can sort of act, and the result is truly amazing.

The music is fantastic -- you can download the album here.

Below is a scene from the movie, just to give you an idea of what this is about.  I love this song, how it's in 5/4 timing, completely non-linear and not formulaic at all...
