Do the Math. Once is infinite!

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2008)

One of the best feel good movies ever made. Every couple in love and music fan should watch it. The story is life in its purity. The way the songs are "introjected" as part of the script gives the musical genre a new style of storytelling. The formula is perfect and adds beautifully becoming a truthful masterpiece. We see elements bumping into one another, from Neo-realism, Auteur cinema, cinema vérité, till the most commercial Hollywood romance-comedies (which doesn't do any harm here).
Everything lies perfectly in this bed of charming fluids and senses, and the final result must be compared to one of the best wines ever made or tasted.
Some references for previous works: John Carney's On the Edge, with Stephen Rea and Cillian Murphy (not to be compared, but OK to watch); Glen Hansard plays guitar in The Commitments, Alan Parker's entertaining musical comedy.
Much said, the song "Gold" played on the restaurant scene gives the film a fine treatment defining Marketa's performance, for I believe no one would trade her sweet self for anything.
