Review of 9 Songs (2004) by Koji L — 31 Oct 2007
I'm sorry, sometimes you just want to see a movie that is only about two people going to indie rock shows, constantly having sex, and when they're not going to indie rock shows or having sex, ruminating on the Antarctic.
And that's the only thing that justifies the approximately 60 minute running time. No need to fill in the background story, who are these people, what do they do and why. Who cares? Let's just hear the good music, watch them having sex (who doesn't want to watch a good shag?), ignore the ruminations on the Antarctic, and appreciate the raw, "grainy", arguably seedy look of the film.
Viewed at the Majestic Movie Theater, Taipei, Taiwan. A seemingly nice theater, but with annoying sound problems, a funky smell, and me leaving with an allergic reaction afterwards. Note to self: avoid this theater.
