9 Songs

This movie slipped under my radar but my other half caught it. It is apparently about a couple who goes to concerts and has sex in the interim. Sounds perfect, huh?

You can see the trailer here.

Here is a review excerpt (movie-gazette):

"So '9 Songs' is a contemplative, melancholic piece about memory, longing and loneliness, and in this respect it is not unlike Michael Winterbottom's other film from the same year, the dystopian sci-fi 'Code 46'. Yet it is the sex scenes, a pervasive and graphic element in '9 Songs', which are destined to raise an eyebrow - if not much else - amidst the chattering classes."

It's Got: Live concert footage of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Von Bondies, Elbow, Primal Scream, the Dandy Warhols, Super Furry Animals, Franz Ferdinand and Michael Nyman; believable performances; an intelligent, frank and unsensationalised attitude to sex; a pervasive mood of melancholy.

It Needs: To be avoided by anyone sensitive to explicit scenes of sex - but also by anyone looking for pornographic kicks.
