Review of 9 Songs

9 Songs (2004)
1/10
much ado about nothing
5 November 2004
This was a wasted 65 minutes. Mercifully short, fortunately. No plot, totally unappealing characters, and absolutely no idea why they got together, why they stayed together (the sex didn't seem all that great) nor why they split up. Maybe Micheal Winterbottom is turning into a dirty old man??? I'm sure he can do better than this. I will give him the credit of the doubt, after all he made code49 and Jude the obscure, but simply filming naked bodies (badly) and intersecting them with poorly recorded live music is no excuse for an "art film". If it is true that he wanted to make a serious adult movie about the sexual aspects of a relationship he should watch his classics again, and certainly Ai no corrida.
