“Zonad” (Now available)
Everybody who follows pop music has heard of the one-hit wonder.
Same thing can happen in movies.
A couple of years back Irish filmmaker John Carney had an international hit with “Once,” a modest mini-musical about a Dublin street busker who falls for an immigrant girl.
They end up making beautiful music together…so beautiful that “Once” won the Oscar for best original song.
I loved “Once”; thought it may have been the year’s most satisfying film.
But Carney’s followup, just out on DVD, suggests that “Once” was indeed a one-time-only deal.
