Film: Sing Street (2016)

Post by dimejinky99 »

From the director and writer of Once and Begin Again, SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who is looking for a break from a home strained by his parents’ relationship and money troubles, while trying to adjust to his new inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. There’s only one problem: he’s not part of a band…yet. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he’s promised - calling himself “Cosmo” and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the decade, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their heart into writing lyrics and shooting videos. Inspired by writer/director John Carney’s (ONCE, BEGIN AGAIN) life and love for music, SING STREET shows us a world where music has the power to take us away from the turmoil of everyday life and transform us into something greater.

Sarcasm? Hope not. Anyone I know who has seen it says it's lovely & heartwarming.

No, you weirdo, I'm serious. That isn't sarcasm at all. I adored his other films & I really want to see this one.

I loved Begin Again. Totally took me by surprise. I didn't expect that much from it. Once is still the better film, though.
