    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley did not communicate with each other between filming so that their off-screen relationship would not affect the one they had on screen.
    • Goofs
      Cutaways during several different band performances, such as close up of backup guitarists, are from different parts of the shows and often don't match wide shots of the band or shots of the singers.
    • Quotes

      Matt: Exploring the Antarctic is like exploring space. You enter a void, thousands of miles, with no people, no animals, no plants. You're isolated in a vast, empty continent. Claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place, like two people in a bed.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening title and the closing credits appear to be pieces of cut film or paper placed together to form the words.
    • Alternate versions
      Unrated Edited Version on DVD in USA removes the explicit sex, but it still too graphic for an R rating.
    • Connections
      Featured in Nip/Tuck: Liz Cruz (2006)

    A must.....

    i disagree with the negative comments on nine songs.....spotted a review on the film back in October and put it in my brain diary as one to watch!....it popped up at the Jameson film festival and so an opportunity arose to see what all the fuss was about.......thoroughly enjoyed all 65 minutes!......thought the film was beautiful at times,sad at others but basically real....was blown away by the piano pieces....yeah the film did begin and end with zero character development but so what, that wasn't the aim of the film...it just lets u wonder ...(and want to go to the antarctic!!).......an artistic film well worth a watch in my opinion....enjoy!
