NYC Theatrical Premiere, One Week Only!
*** Filmmakers NICK AUGUST-PERNA, CHRIS DAPKINS, and CARLO MIRABELLA-DAVIS in person on Friday, October 21 ***
"(CRITICS' PICK!) A poignant commentary on the uneasy commingling of love and fame. Shot in shimmering black and white, the images swaddle the story in a retro glamour as wistful as Ms. Irglova's voice..."
- Jeannette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES (Oct. 20, 2011)
"(CRITICS' PICK!) Musical partners and former real-life lovers Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová charmed the world in the Oscar-winning indie drama ONCE, and this gorgeous doc follows them in the uneasy wake of that success. But whereas the original was a fast-budding romance, this is a stately, sad road movie about how things fade."
- Bilge Ebiri, NEW YORK MAGAZINE (Oct. 18, 2011)
"In this extraordinary documentary, so intimate and so natural, you feel as if you've stumbled into the room by mistake... On-screen and off, it is a case of life imitating art and art imitating life—and that is the intersection the filmmakers focus on... In the end, despite all its disparate parts, the documentary somehow coalesces beautifully into a moving portrait of two musicians who fell in love—once."
- Betsy Sharkey, LOS ANGELES TIMES (Oct. 7, 2011)
"The beauty and energy of the music alone are worth the price of admission, but it's the way the filmmakers have so deftly captured the raw and honest intimacy of Hansard and Irglová's personal and artistic collaboration that make THE SWELL SEASON worth watching."
- Erin Essenmacher, THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

THE SWELL SEASON is a documentary reunion of performers Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, whose musical collaboration in the hit film ONCE earned them Academy Awards. Directed by Nick August-Perna, Chris Dapkins, and Carlo Mirabella-Davis, the Silverdocs opening night selection and Tribeca Film Festival sensation makes its NYC theatrical premiere with a week-long run, October 21 - 28.
After captivating audiences with ONCE, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's fictional romance blurred with reality: they fell in love, recorded an album, and embarked on a world tour. Fueled by two years of exhilaration, performance, and psychological turmoil, THE SWELL SEASON is not just a rock-doc, but a volatile and intimate portrait of a love affair that fractures in the face of life on the road and personal tragedy. As Glen and Markéta's relationship unhinges, the music ultimately prevails as their enduring connection. With incredible performances from around the world and a front-row seat on Glen and Markéta's tour, THE SWELL SEASON resonates with film and music fans alike.
90 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated. A Seventh Art release.
