9 Songs

View Date: 2/1/10

This movie was listed as a explicit drama on Netflix. Now, normally in this part of my write-ups, I give a brief summary of the movie. But in this case, I’m finding it really hard. The best I can do is say an Englishman has lots of graphic sex with his girlfriend. During the few minutes when they’re not grinding, they’re going to some great concerts. Then there are these pretty random parts about Antarctica thrown in.

So basically, this was porn with a great soundtrack, but it was available on Netflix. You get to see the couple getting it on in all kinds of ways, with some real close-ups. As far as I could tell, nothing was simulated, and they certainly didn’t leave anything to the imagination. There was concert footage of Franz Ferdinand and other similar bands, and songs by these artists that you don’t normally hear.

The parts about Antarctica really didn’t seem to fit in to me. I’m sure it probably had some deep meaning, but I wasn’t really in the mood to try to make sense of it.

Overall, I couldn’t really find a plot to follow, and didn’t really get involved with the characters. I wouldn’t recommend watching this with anyone other than your lover, if you were to even watch it at all.

10 words or less: Art-house porn with a good soundtrack.
