ONCE upon a time in Dublin

"My film is a sort of modern day musical. I like the classic musicals of the forties and fifties, and I wanted to attempt to make a contemporary story in which the lead characters sung more than they spoke. I was tired writing 90-page scripts and trying to express myself with dialogue, plot twists etc, and opted for a mood piece, which would be a kind of visual album; a film which you could watch over and over just to hear the songs again in the way I can watch "Guys and Dolls," or "A Star is Born" over and over, regardless of knowing exactly what's coming next." (John Carney)
