Michael Winterbottom 2004 UK
A young man working in the Antarctic reflects on his passionate affair with an American, whom he met at a rock concert.
A film which parallels hardcore scenes of sex, and the emotional ebb and flow of its couple, with footage from live rock gigs they have attended. The pattern of the narrative creates an effective rhythm, from the "let's all shout and dance" of the gigs to the quietly intense scenes at home, using music as a means of drawing the two together in a social context, and then almost silence as they shut themselves off from the world entirely.
