9 Songs is a 2004 British art romantic drama movie written and directed by Michael Winterbottom. The movie stars Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley.

The movie was controversial when it was released because of its sexual content. There were scenes in the movie that included actual footage of the two leads, Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley, having sexual intercourse and performing oral sex as well as a scene of ejaculation.[3][4]

The movie is about a British young man Matt and an American exchange student Lisa falling in love after meeting at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert.

Release

The movie was showed at the Cannes Film Festival. 9 Songs holds a score of 24% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 97 reviews with an average rating of 4.38/10.[5] The movie overall had negative reviews.[6]

Because of the intense sexual scenes of the movie, the release of it caused a debate over whether the scenes of explicit sex artistically were part of the movie's meaning or crossed the border into pornography. In the United Kingdom, the movie received an 18 certificate from the British Board of Film Classification and became the most explicit mainstream movie to be so rated in the country. MP Ann Widdecombe complained about the movie in the UK House of Commons and calling on the Home Secretary to reverse the decision to release it uncensored.[7]
