In 2007, writer/director John Carney’s Once had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Audience Award in the Dramatic category. While there are some familiar elements in his latest film, Begin Again, it is a different movie.
Begin Again is the story of “Greta” (Kiera Knightley), “Dave Kohl” (Adam Levine) and “Dan Mulligan” (Mark Ruffalo). Greta and Dave have come to New York City because a record label has signed Dave. He refers to Greta as his partner, and they have written music together for some time. Greta is also a singer. The label provides everything they need, including an apartment and for Dave, someone who tempts him to stray. This brings their romance to a bad ending.
