Directed by the award-winning Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People, In This World, Wonderland), the film charts the intensely emotional and physical relationship between Matt (Kieran O'Brien - 24 Hour Party People, My Kingdom) and Lisa (Margo Stilley), a young American student in London, from their first encounter at the Brixton Academy to their eventual split. Intercutting between the couple's uninhibited sexual encounters and electrifying gig footage of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Von Bondies, Elbow, Primal Scream, The Dandy Warhols, Super Furry Animals, Franz Ferdinand and Michael Nyman, 9 Songs tells a truly modern love story.
