Review of Songcatcher (2001) by Peggy J — 31 Oct 2007
Appalachian music...that's what made me rent this. Wasn't sure what to expect and my husband gave me a sour apple face when I first turned it on. We both loved it. What a great story with the most beautiful music (to my ears anyway). There is humor as well as some adult content.
Here is the description from Netflix:
During a visit to her sister in Appalachia, gifted musicologist Dr. Lily Penleric (Janet McTeer) stumbles upon a musical treasure trove -- dozens of Scots-Irish ballads that have been preserved for generations by the local populace and are unknown to the outside world. Intent on collecting the beautiful songs, Dr. Penleric comes to admire the locals, who live a tough, hardscrabble existence without complaint.
