Drawing Restraint 9 is an art film by American artist Matthew Barney, dealing with the relationship between creativity and self-imposed resistance. Shot in Nagasaki Bay, the film is set aboard the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru. On board is a vast sculpture of vaseline entitled "The Field", which continually transforms during the film, most representing the theme of the work. The lead characters, known as "The Guests", are played by Matthew's partner, Björk and Matthew Barney himself. There is only one moment of dialogue within the 135-minute film - during the tea ceremony - which explains the history of the vessel Nisshin Maru.

Drawing Restraint 9 premiered at the 62nd Venice Film Festival and was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, 2005.

Independent Film Channel Films, has bought the U.S. theatrical rights to Drawing Restraint 9 and will be shown in New York city by the end of March, 2006.

The soundtrack for the film was composed by Björk and was released on One Little Indian, Monday, July 25th, 2005.
