Drawing Restraint 9 is a film that is part of a 16 piece project created by the controversial artist Matthew Barney. The film is an elaborate sculpture that explores Japanese traditions primarily focusing on the whaling ritual. It takes place on the Japanese vessel Nishin Maru. It is mostly a silent film but it is accompanied by the most fantastic soundtrack I have witnessed. The main characters (Matthew Barney himself and Björk) are occidental guests who are invited to take part in the ceremonies that take place on the vessel. The film's climax is the most magical love scene I have experienced ever. I would only recommend this film to viewers who are appreciative of experimental art and beautiful cinematography, otherwise one might find it rather boring.
