According to the Guardian, the highly explicit British film Nine Songs is premiering at Cannes this week. It concerns an Englishman reminiscing about a torrid love affair while flying over the desolate glaciers of Antarctica, its sex scenes interspersed with performances by new-wave bands. I now realize that a new insta-plot has been added to the other freeze-dried scenarios used by the Sundance crowd, such as the sensitive coming-of-age film set in American suburbia; or the incisive unnarrated documentary about people from Texas and their trucks.
