Court action over explicit flick Nine Songs

Director Michael Winterbottom’s film production company is being taken to court over his sexually-explicit new film Nine Songs.

The movie features actors having real sex, causing a stir at the Cannes Film Festival, but it is now the subject of a court action by distributors Tartan Films.

Tartan Films has accused Revolution Films, which is co-owned by Mr Winterbottom, of breaking its distribution agreement.

Nine Songs, which features close-ups of oral sex and ejaculation, was shown for the first time in Cannes in May.
