Review of 9 Songs

9 Songs (2004)
1/10
Rubbishy film with forgettable songs and a bit of sex.

Warning: Spoilers
I wonder how much of a royalties agreement the director had with the bands who were featured. All flash-in-the-pan and soon-to-be-forgotten bands whose income could receive a healthy boost from the DVD sales of this film. Fair enough - so why was the explicit sex included?

Simple, without the sex scenes the film would not have generated the slightest interest or DVD sales - just another batch of three-chord bands jumping around the stage.

So, there you have it - a few minutes of hard core sex with a beautiful girl and an hour of trashy bands that you have to fast forward through.

I have no objection to explicit sex but what I find objectionable in this film is the pretence; it claims to be about a relationship when it is nothing more than an exploitation movie. If censorship wasn't so rife in this world then sex couldn't be used to sell things - like lousy films.
