Once
A lovely, understated little Irish drama about the friendship/borderline romance which develops between a native busker and an immigrant flower seller (creditted simply as "Guy" and "Girl") throughout a few fleeting days spent in one another's company. The character interactions have a pleasingly Before Sunrise/Before Sunset vibe to them (if you're a fan of those films, then be sure to check it out), the narrative is simple, but manages to convey quite a lot of emotional weight, and the music is a real joy. All in all, it's a fine addition to the mini-genre of unconventional love stories.
