pearshaper Review of 9 Songs

9 Songs (2004)

Uncomfortable issues, uncomfortable scenes uncomfortable acting with comforting results.

[7/10 · 6 September 2005]

This film conveyed what i feel every night. A sense of trying to remember a love lost, or lust lost? We try to remember them and sometimes we just remember the physical side, and sometimes as time moves on this is all we have. The memories really struck home to me personally. I often think of my ex and all i can remember is what we shared intimately. because i have tried to hard to forget that she was a human. I found this film very personal, only two characters. The man and the girl. They meet and start a sexual relationship that any person can relate to. The man shares with us his memories and we see some pretty full on sexual acts. Great! Its not a porn movie! its to deep and the characters are very recognizable. Sure the there is the live bands playing at the club, this is the timeouts from the sexual element. and i know that others say the performances are dry and acted badly. but how do we act when we sense that what we thought would last for ever is going to end. over all it was an uncomfortable film with an uncomfortable story played by actors who... well lets face it playing uncomfortable parts. and doing very uncomfortable scenes. I feel that this film deserves credit for its boldness.
