Funny and delightful

"The One Note Man" is about a guy who lives by himself and has a daily routine. When he wakes up, he brushes his teeth, eats breakfast, eats something sweet, and rides a bike to an opera house where he plays one note on an instrument in an orchestra. After he plays that note, he goes home, eats dinner, brushes his teeth, and goes to bed. The next day, he does everything again. It kinda reminds me of "Groundhog Day". The protagonist of "The One Note Man" is lonely and he falls in love with one of the musicians in the orchestra. I won't spoil the rest of the film. By the way, except for a bit of narration from Ian McKellan, the film has no dialogue.

I really enjoyed "The One Note Man". It's quite charming and funny. The protagonist is played by Jason Watkins and his performance is great. His character is also very likeable. The story, music, cinematography, editing, and such are wonderful. You don't need to have dialogue to make an entertaining film and "The One Note Man" is definitely proof of that. I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like about the film. It's Oscar-worthy.
