(PCM) Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo star in John Carney’s dramadey, Begin Again, about two music lovers in New York trying to figure out their path in life, in theaters nationwide July 4.
The latest film from writer-director John Carney (Once), Begin Again is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together.
Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own.
Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent.
From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.
Begin Again, being a film about music, stars great actors like Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Catherine Keener, and Hailee Steinfeld alongside musicians Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Mos Def.
