9 SONGS

In the spirit of spreading domestic pornology, I'm posting today a fragment of a scholarly analysis of 9 Songs. The piece is a part of an MA thesis entitled Eroticism and Pornography in Mainstream Cinema in relation to Postmodern Sexuality and written by a compatriot from the north-eastern part of the country. As a whole the work is a comprehendible exposition of titular concepts for neophytes, but it tackles nicely converging themes of sex, nudity and intimacy in two contemporary R-rated films. I've been intending to write something on this softer side of new extremism for some time now, especially pertaining to cinescapes of sterilized sexuality, but it's a pending project in my mind, one out of few. Anyway, the author of hereby presented excerpt has pretty accurately captured my tactile impressions of  the movie and this must serve as a preliminary to my own input. The only copy of the text I possess is, alas, in Polish, so this is basically for my Polish confreres.
