‘Once’ Film Gets The Michel Gondry Sweded Treatment

We were worried this was going to be earnest and therefore pointless, but it’s mildly amusing.

We’re hoping the headline gives most of the context to our readers who should by now be familiar with most of the films we write about on our site, but if not:

“Once” is a low-budget Irish busker music film featuring the Frames’ Glen Hansard and Swell Season pianist/singer Marketa Irglova that recently won an Oscar for Best Original Song.

“Sweding” is a term that comes from Michel Gondry’s recent and mostly-mediocre, but earnest film, “Be Kind Rewind” where bumbling amateurs recreate well-known and popular movies. Have at it.
