What is The Weinstein Company Begin Again?

The Weinstein Company's Begin Again is a charming romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Carney, starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. The movie follows the story of Gretta (played by Knightley), a budding songwriter who has just broken up with her long-time boyfriend Dave (played by Adam Levine). She meets Dan (played by Ruffalo), a down-and-out music producer who's lost his record label job. Dan witnesses Gretta performing a heart-wrenching song at a small bar and is immediately captivated by her talent.

They decide to record an album together on the empty streets of New York City, featuring the city's ambient noise as their backing track, capturing the city's real essence. The two embark on a unique journey of creation and collaboration that will change their lives.

Begin Again received critical acclaim for its beautiful cinematography, catchy soundtrack, and poignant storytelling, and was a commercial success, grossing over $63.4 million worldwide on a $8 million budget. It received numerous award nominations and won several awards, including the Satellite Award for Best Original Song.

The Weinstein Company distributed the film in the United States and produced the film alongside Likely Story and Exclusive Media Group. Although the Weinstein Company has since dissolved due to the scandal surrounding co-founder Harvey Weinstein, Begin Again remains an entertaining and uplifting movie that reminds us of the power of art and the beauty of human connection.
