About Song One:
Song One is a romantic drama set against the backdrop of
Brooklyn's vibrant indie music scene. After Franny's (Anne
Hathaway) musician brother Henry (Ben Rosenfield) is injured
and hospitalized in a coma following the car accident,
Franny returns home after a long estrangement and begins to
use his notebook as a guide to how his life has evolved in
her absence. Franny seeks out the musicians and artists
Henry loved, in the course of journey meeting James Forester
(Johnny Flynn), his musical idol, whose success and fame
belie a shy and private man. As a romantic connection
develops between Franny and James, the question becomes if
love can bloom even under the most adverse circumstances.
The film, produced by Joanthan Demme, also stars Oscar?
winner Mary Steenburgen (The Help) and features original
music composed by Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice.
