NINE




Official website: "Nine is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including  his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren)."


This was fun to watch and experience on the big screen. Though matinee-worthy, stepping into the fantasy world of the Maestro was a complete throwback to '60s period films. I still plan on watching "8 1/2", on which this musical feature is based. 

Funniest line: "I'll be waiting for you here . . . with my legs open!" (Penelope Cruz)
