This movie isn't worth watching at all, the plot is basically this: Matt is a young glaciologist working in the South Pole. He recounts a love affair once past but does not narrate throughout the film. Matt meets 21 year old Lisa at London's Brixton Academy while attending a rock concert. They have sex that night and lots of sex thereafter. There isn't much of a story after this as it's really just sex and rock concerts.

Interspersed throughout the movie is footage of bands such as the Von Bondies and the Dandy Warhols (Who also happen to star in the excellent documentary DiG! playing the concert hall with our couple looking on. 9 songs total are performed, hence the title of the movie. The sound quality sucked in these shots but I assume they were actually trying to emulate what you actually would hear in a concert.

The main problem this movie suffers from other than it not having a plot is that there are only two characters seen throughout the movie. No one bothers to interact with them or is shown outside of the concerts. Cocaine is shown being insufflated in the film by both characters; however its implementation is meaningless. It isn't used as a device to further develop the plot or anything. I can only assume it's just trying to show us that they're into a certain kind of lifestyle.

Described as 30 percent romance, 30 percent music video and 30 percent porn, it’s only worth about 10 percent of the time it takes to watch the movie.
