The killing stroke

If you live anywhere near a theater that is playing the Irish film "Once", go see it. Now. It's been a while since I've seen such a beautiful and haunting story of love. And I've never been so devastated by one line of spoken Czech in my entire life...absolutely crushing.

Don't be fooled by the posters for the movie; yes, I'm aware they make it look like something Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts would be in, but it is vastly better than what you might think. I don't want to give anything away, but it's a stunning depiction of people coming together at the right time for the right reasons...but will they do the right thing in the end? When this movie ended I wanted to run out onto the street and confess my love for the world, and I think anyone who sees it will want to as well. That is, if you have a soul.
