Nine
2009 (Rob Marshall) PG, 119 min
Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz
His last two films were flops and he has only one week left to finish his current film, and no inspiration to see it through: director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) is on the verge of a creative meltdown. This is to say nothing of the negotiations that he must endure with the various women in his life: his wife (Cotillard), his mistress (Cruz), his film star muse (Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Dench), an American fashion journalist (Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Loren). Through dreams, drinks, and a little dance, Guido manages to keep everyone—including the audience—happy. This stunning ensemble cast does their best to pay homage to great Italian director Federico Fellini’s ninth film, titled 8 ½, and Italian cinema of the 1960’s. Nine was nominated for 5 Golden Globe Awards.
