2 Days in Paris - Julie Delpy, who starred in two of my most favorite films (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset) was nominated for an Oscar along with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke for best original screenplay for the latter film. In 2 Days in Paris, Delpy serves as the writer, director and star.
Adam Goldberg plays Delpy's boyfriend in the film. Interesting fact: Goldberg has an uncredited role in Before Sunrise as "Man Sleeping on Train" and also appeared in Linklater's Waking Life, which featured a clip of Hawke and Delpy as their Before Sunrise characters. Confused? Just watch the trailer.
Starting tomorrow, a film that has a lot of buzz and a soundtrack that is good enough to atract you to the film, rather than the other way around.

Are you familiar with the Frames' "Falling Slowly"? It's a beautiful little ditty, and it's on the soundtrack. In fact, Frames' lead singer Glen Hansard stars in this Irish film as ... wait for it ... a musician. Actually, it sounds really cool. Fun facts, anyone?
* The two main characters actually wrote all of the songs in the film.
* Director John Carney used to play bass for The Frames.
* Hansard and lead actress Markéta Irglová, a Czech musician, fell in love during the filming of the movie.
* The film earned the World Cinema Audience Award for a dramatic film at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
Turn up the volume on your computer and watch the trailer.
