John Carney | Ireland | 2006 | 85
From Ireland, here’s a low-budget charmer that stole away the Audience Award at Sundance in 2007. On the streets of Dublin a careworn busker (Glen Hansard) strikes up a friendship with a sparky young Czech immigrant (Marketa Irglova). He’s nursing a broken heart and stalled ambitions; she’s getting by on cleaning jobs and chutzpah. As their relationship evolves, writer/director John Carney weaves Hansard’s gorgeous self-penned songs into the narrative, creating a seamless fusion of music and storytelling that’s anchored by marvellous performances and a gutsy grace.
O Iwerddon, dyma ffilm gyllideb isel swynol a enillodd Gwobr y Gynulleidfa yn Sundance 2007. Ar strydoedd Dulyn mae cerddor pen stryd blinderus (Glen Hansard) yn ffurfio cyfeillgarwch gyda mewnfudwraig ifanc a bywiog o’r Weriniaeth Tsiec (Marketa Irglova). Mae ganddo ef dorcalon ac uchelgeisiau tu hwnt iddo; mae hithau’n ymdopi ar swyddi glanhau a chutzpah. Wrth i’r berthynas datblygu, mae’r awdur/cyfarwyddwr John Carney yn gwau caneuon hyfryd i’r stori, wedi eu hysgrifennu gan Hansard ei hun, gan greu asiad llyfn o gerddoriaeth a chwedleua caiff ei goroni gan berfformiadau gwych a gosgeiddrwydd dewr.
