In the event you hadn’t already discovered this from his a number of movies about it, director John Carney has a little bit of a music fascination. Not simply music as a catchy tune, however music as a manner of connecting and as a way of expressing repressed emotion that we might not be capable of in any other case.
In every little thing from “As soon as” to his subsequent works, “Start Once more,” “Sing Avenue,” and “Flora and Son,” Carney has returned to comparable questions, with barely totally different musical genres, narrative contexts, and private conflicts woven all through.
