No Filter: These Actors Were Really Getting Intimate On Film!

9 Songs (2004)

The film 9 Songs focuses on the love shared between an American college student named Lisa and a British glaciologist named Matt, played by actors Margo Stilley and Kieran O’Brien. The many unsimulated scenes of intimacy between Matt and Lisa caused The Guardian to declare 9 Songs the most explicit mainstream film in the United Kingdom. The movie received an X rating in Australia. The film is also notable for its footage of concert performances by nine (hence the title) bands, including Franz Ferdinand, The Dandy Warhols, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. There was a whole lot of realism in this film apparently, and it wasn’t all between the sheets.
