20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is releasing director John Carney's
Once (2006) on Blu-ray this Spring as an Amazon exclusive. The romantic drama stars Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová and Hugh Walsh, and makes its North American Blu-ray debut on April 1st.
Synopsis:
Once follows "The Guy" (Hansard), a musician who works part-time helping his father run a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, but dreams of one day having his songs recorded and landing a record deal. Emotionally vulnerable, he's still coming to terms with the recent departure of his girlfriend and lacks the conviction and passion to move on in his pedestrian life. One day, he meets "The Girl" (Irglová), an Eastern European immigrant who moves to Dublin to start a new life for herself. Working as a house cleaner in an upper-class residence, she's struggling financially and yearns for what she can't afford: a piano to help her escape from the daily grind of this strange new land. A relationship soon blossoms between the two as their shared love of music causes them to flourish and grow with a newfound confidence.
