When doing PR, emphasize it's a love story ('action is character').
I wouldn't care if he had set out to make a great pr0n movie really.

Shown out of competition, the film starts with the guy flying above Antarctica, trying to warm his almost frozen soul with memories of the lanky, unpredictable woman with whom he had once shared the most intense moments of his life. Then we see them embracing the perpetual present of the best pop music at shows by contemporary acts such as Super Furry Animals and Franz Ferdinand, motoring up to shingly coastal beaches, exploring each other in bed.
The italics are mine. 'Exloring each other' has a kind of 'medical' resonance pour moi, but whatever gets you off, connotation-wise.

"9 songs takes place in London in the autumn of 2003.
Lisa is an American student in London for a year. Matt meets her at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Concert at the Brixton Academy. Matt falls in love with her and the film follows their relationship, as well as seeing songs from each of the concerts they go to together:
Black Rebel Motorcycle ClubThe Von BondiesElbowPrimal ScreamThe Dandy WarholsSuper Furry AnimalsFranz FerdinandMichael Nyman
In between the music and the bands we see Matt and Lisa making love and it is through their lovemaking that their relationship unfolds.
We follow their love affair up until Christmas when Lisa leaves to go back to America."

Of possible interest:
He's just finished filming on Winterbottom's latest picture, an adaptation of Laurence Sterne's supposedly unfilmable novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy starring Steve Coogan, Ian Hart and Shirley Henderson, among others.

stevem -- i know everyone says this but it REALLY isn't arousing.
― NRQ, Monday, 7 March 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)
I thought W'Bottom was being faux until I read that thing about students, which I thought was quite witty. If it makes lots of money which he then uses to make 'nicer' films like Tristram Shandy, then fair enough.
I thought the icepack scenes were just there because W'bottom got a taste for doing those kind of shots in In This World and Code 46. The stuff the bloke says over them is very dull. The philosophical aspects of the film (you can be in a packed Brixton Academy and still feel alone!) were very poor, but perhaps students will lap it up. Boom boom.
I found parts of it vaguely arousing.
Unless you've seen the film, you can't tell it's a woman using a vibrator. It just looks like a bird writhing around.

It's basically a low budget "Betty Blue" with little story, some OK acting, realistic sex scenes, and some song excerpts.
1) That's not a real one! That's a baguette covered with a chamois leather.2) As I say, it's a bit much when the nine songs are shortened versions.3) Especially when the 'film' is 65 minutes! Does that qualify as a movie?
It's basically a well done student film. Not a complete waste of time, but it needs more story and full length songs. It has enough sex scenes though.

RIght, so since the couple acted in this film, how has it affected their career?
Kieran O'Brian has apeared in Holby City, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Vera
Margo Stilley has appeared in "The Trip" with Steve Coogan, and is about to appear as Cynthia Plastercaster in "Hippie Hippie Shake"...
