MovieMail's Review

Great choreography, belting songs and a fabulous array of actresses - Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Sophia Loren among them - characterise Rob Marshall's musical. Daniel Day Lewis stars as the frustrated film director.

Until recently the musical had a bad press in Hollywood, before Moulin Rouge reinvented the genre and suddenly Broadway hits were enjoying box office success at the local multiplex. The musical hit a new high when Rob Marshall’s Chicago won the Best Picture Oscar, and now the director has returned with Nine, another stage smash, this time based on Fellini’s 8 ½.

Daniel Day Lewis stars as Guido, a frustrated film director in need of inspiration, haunted by the women of his life, both in the past and present. A fabulous array of actresses fill out the supporting roles, including Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Sophia Loren as Guido’s mother. A musical lives of dies by its songs, and Nine contains some belters, including Penelope Cruz’s saucy “A Call from the Vatican” (Cruz was nominated for an Oscar for her role) and the undoubted showstopper, “Be Italian”, rasped out by Fergie (from the Black Eyed Peas) with vampish abandon. Great choreography and lavish set pieces all add to the fun.

Film Description

Nine, directed by Rob Marshall, is a big-budget musical based on the classic Fellini film 8 1/2. Set in early 1960s Venice, the film follows famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he struggles to complete his latest project on the eve of his 40th birthday. Meanwhile, he must also juggle the various colourful women in his life: his wife Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his mistress Carla (Penelope Cruz), his muse Claudia (Nicole Kidman), his producer Liliane (Judi Dench), his mother (Sophia Loren) and even a prostitute who resurfaces from the depths of his past (Stacy Ferguson). Kate Hudson co-stars as the American journalist who interviews him about his life and work.
