Prolific and versatile British writer and director Michael Winterbottom made this edgy experimental film about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. A young couple meet during a concert and enjoy an intense sexual relationship that unfolds during a period of eight concerts. When the sexual attraction ends so does the relationship. Winterbottom infuses hardcore sex with footage from live concerts that works to some extent but fails in the story department. The actors are brave enough to go where most won't go but are safe in a Winterbottom film. The 9 songs performed by the 8 bands could have been captured better and don't add much to the story except for some distraction from the sex scenes. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
