Begin Again

The Mikes are back to talking John Carney and music in this week's episode of Forgotten Summer as they take a look at the film Begin Again, starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how this film's genre is "feel good." This is a film to lighten your spirits and make you happy, without being overly sappy, dramatic, cheesy or fake. The Mikes discuss the realness of both Ruffalo's and Knightley's characters and their journey of mutual respect, love, friendship, and music.

They'll also talk about New York City and how it is presented in this film as well as the role that it plays within the story.

So grab your big floppy beach hat, please notice the slip and slides to the left and right of you, and settle down for Forgotten Summer!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
