    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley did not communicate with each other between filming so that their off-screen relationship would not affect the one they had on screen.
    • Goofs
      (at around 11 mins) The boom mic momentarily drops down into the scene and pulls back up while Lisa asks "Do you think I look like a boy?"
    • Quotes

      Matt: Exploring the Antarctic is like exploring space. You enter a void, thousands of miles, with no people, no animals, no plants. You're isolated in a vast, empty continent. Claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place, like two people in a bed.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening title and the closing credits appear to be pieces of cut film or paper placed together to form the words.
    • Alternate versions
      Unrated Edited Version on DVD in USA removes the explicit sex, but it still too graphic for an R rating.
    • Connections
      Featured in Nip/Tuck: Liz Cruz (2006)

    forget the scandal, concentrate on beauty
    I always try to be as clean from other people's / critics opinion before I go and check out a new film.

    With Nine Songs, that is a difficult task, because it is the kind of movie everyone talks about without even seen it.

    The story is as simple as it can be. It concentrates on the sexual behavior of the characters to show the birth and death of their relationship. It could have all been told around their meals, or their phone conversations. But Michael

    Winterbotom chose their sex life - a quite important subject to every couple's life- to tell it all.

    I only want to say that it is quite beautiful. Yes, its only sex, but as real as it can be. There is no intention on making the scenes erotic or pornographic, and the honest intimacy projected, strips down the human nature of the characters to

    their very basic instincts.
