“9 Songs” in NYC

The New York Times' Stephen Holden yawns his way through Michael Winterbottom's "9 Songs", which is screening at the Tribeca Film Festival this week prior to its general US release in July (and which we've feverishly been posting about since last year): "Popular culture has become so inundated with pornography and pseudo-pornography that everyday sex, when you finally see it on the screen, looks banal. What might once have seemed thrilling and liberating produces a ho-hum response: Is that all there is?" Hey, don't look at us.
