Sexually Explicit Film at cinema- "9 Songs"

15 Feb 2005

There is a new film coming out soon (not sure exactly when) called 9 Songs, and claims to be the most sexually explicit film to be released in cinemas. It has been given an '18' certificate and not an 'R18' certificate so means it can be shown at the cinema and not only through licensed sex shops.
How good a fiilm it will be i dont know, but at least it will made a change from seeing my regular kind of films, my last was The Magic Roundabout! rolleyes

You can read more and view the trailer here:-

According to your link, the film will be released on March 11. Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing it too.

Now then - erotic film, beautiful woman looking for a threesome - hell, it would be rude of me not to offer my services! :wink: :twisted:

The music is also meant to be outstanding. Live songs that the couple in the story see play as the film unravels. 9 I would guess in fact!

Just saw the film in Sheffield this afternoon - I can recommend it very highly, as an erotic film, for the music, and for the general artistic impression. I can't understand the reviewers who didn't rate it highly, and the ones who said it wasn't very stimulating or erotic - it certainly scored high on the peter-meter here. Brilliant and beauitiful film!

Thanks for that Mike, hubby was just talking about it coming out last Friday and we wondered what it was actually like, esp as its getting called Nine Bonks rather than Nine Songs confused

The reviewers have actually been pretty kind considering Mike . Especially as it wasnt intended to be an erotic film , but a comment on modern relationship values. It does sound like the soundtrack is kewl , and ive heard the live concert footage is atmospheric , but as i understand several detailed descriptions its at best a porn film with a good soundtrack . I for one prefer my porn in its lurid wrapper and my social comment and action movies at the Odeon . Gotta be seen though I guess as its such a censorship milestone , but think we'll wait for the DVD .

Did anyone ever see the film Bais moi? A french film, which is about two women going ona killing spree, men, and shooting strangers. There is alot of graphic content - up close intercourse and lots of blood.
Highly reccomended

Has anyone else seen it? Liked it? If you liked/didn't like it, did you have the same feeling about the music as the film itself?
I disagree about it being porn. The actors are real actors (not porn stars as in Baise Moi). They also engage the audience emotionally, which porn stars generally don't (I think this is as good a way as any as distinguishing porn - it's an argument put forward by French auteur director Catherine Breillat). I though it was beautiful - these were two pretty normal people, and their love affair was told pretty well through their two main activities together - having sex and going to live bands. The camera neither lingered tittilatingly nor constantly avoided genital shots - it just treated that part of the anatomy as 'normal'. It really made (in my opinion) Hollywood sex look pretty artificial (which it is of course) and porno sex pretty feelingless (which is usually is of course). On top of that, the lyrics look at the various stages of the relationship.
I can imagine that if peeps didn't like the music (there's rather a lot of it), they wouldn't empathise with or particularly like the characters. It introduced me to some bands I already like but didn't know well (Super Furry Animals, Franz Fernando, Dandy Warhols, Von Bondies) and at least one that I hadn't heard and was very impressed with (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club). I also liked the symbolism generated through the melting icebergs and stuff . . . So far I've heard views equally for and against from those who have seen it - curious to know what SH members think . . . :idea:

The main thing I liked about Baise Moi was the point it made, rather well I thought, about the psychological damage caused by . It's very easy to think is terrible when it involves severe battery (as in the French film Irreversible*) but less easy when the main damage is psychological trauma. The two women in the film were hardly Mother Theresas - they were prostitutes or near enough, and having them played by porn stars probably didn't distract too much (within those limitations they acted reasonably well) - but it seemed unlikely that they would have embarked on the killing spree had they not been so severaly damaged by the gang . Letting people see the potential effect of that does not involve physical wounding may dissuade perpetrators even - probably they often think that 'it wasn't too bad' or that their victim 'enjoyed it really'.
*This was a much better film than Baise Moi, but failed to make the case against as well IMO.

:

I've already given my opinion on the film - I liked it - but I must agree with you EdinbugChris about the music as well. Although there was indeed rather a lot of it, it gave me a chance to experience music I don't normally come across, and I was particularly impressed by the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club too.

I thought it was a good film. I think that the director, Michael Winterbottom, set out to do the opposite of most films dealing with a relationship. He tries to tell the story of the relationship almost only through the couples sex life. His point being that this is at least as legitimate as telling a love story with no sex in it. I think its an interesting and brave attempt by one of the most interesting directors working in England at the moment.
Besides which the 'action' is beautifully lit, the skintones are lovely and the sex is, for me, very erotic....
Can I recommend reading Platform by Michel Houellebecq (just don't ask me to pronunce it!) which sparked off the idea for the film. Its a very good read and an unflinching comment on sex tourism.
Also if you liked the music you should check out 24 hour Party People by the same director. A great and very funny film about the Manchester music scene in the 80's and 90's...

Eighties! Joy Division, New Order, The Fall, Magazine, etc.....All constantly namechecked by the bands of today....Franz F, The Killers, Scissor Sisters, Razorlight, etc.....I rest my case rolleyes

23 Mar 2005

You would have had a point Chris , as the eighties were in many ways a sad sad reflection of the times musically . You would have been right except most of the decent music and bands of the time are in the film :-)

23 Mar 2005

well cany horny film ,could not believe the oral scenes and the part in the bath where she was playing with his cock with her feet ,any way have not seen it all yet got some what distracted lol

23 Mar 2005

We're errr . . . maybe at cross purposes on the music here . . .

I do like to try and keep up with some modern music - bands of today. From that, liking the music in 9 Songs would not give me an incentive to check out the music in Twenty Four Hour Party People, a movie, as Sean states, is about music of the 80's & 90's. From a point of view of interest in music generally yes, but the fact that those (great in their day) bands are referenced by modern bands doesn't make them modern now, any more than tracing something back to the Stones or John Lee Hooker.
Moby, who was in the earlier movie, still seems to be coming out with new ideas (against all odds) and The Fall (who as far as I can tell were not) are pretty timelessly still belting out albums of more of the same (they're on in Edinburgh next month if anyone wants to join me?)
drinkies

What seems clear is that Mr Winterbottom certainly likes (and knows) his music . . .
(Quick refs for anyone wanting to check listings -
