art or porn?

we watched Nine Songs last night on DVD - this is the film that caused such controversy a couple of years ago - basically it's the story of a brief relationship between an Antartic scientist & a young American girl - the film is interspersed with 9 songs shot live at various Lomdon gigs that the couple attended during their fling

oh & there's lots of sex scenes, real sex with nothing at all left to the imagination

a lot of people in need of a life, moaned & whined that it was simply porn & that it was revolting, disgusting etc etc etc - others stated that while not the greatest of films, it was a valid piece of cinematic art

well i thought it was a good little indie film, the sex scenes were certainly very graphic but the story, such as there was, was quite engaging & nicely acted - if you haven't seen it, i recommend doing so - just make sure your mum isn't there or you will be truly embarrassed

the live footage of concerts by bands like Primal Scream, Franz Ferdinand. Elbow & The Von Bondies is great - in fact me & Pete from Toronto were at the VB gig & undoubtedly were in some of the audience shots - scarey indeed to think that me & him star in a sex flick!!
