9 Songs (2004)

Well, I guess I'm going to classify this movie from the protean British director Michael Winterbottom as a disappointment, despite the fact that I'm not sure I understand what it's trying to accomplish. An uninteresting young couple have lots of sex in between going to various rock concerts, all told as a reminiscence from the point of the view of the guy after the end of the relationship, when he's in Antarctica doing climatological research. The resulting movie is a hodgepodge of explicit sex scenes, concert footage, and Antartic landscapes. None of these things seems related to the others. What's the point?

( Perhaps it's the banality of sex? )
