You are sure to find each of these in Nine.
This film is a musical.
The story revolves around Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a famous film director who faces a mid-life crisis. He is hit with a creative block along with troubles in his personal life. Contini is balancing several women at once:
*his wife Luisa (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 (Fergie), and
*his mother (Sophia Loren).
The film revolves around Contini's latest movie, "Italia", that he has yet to write a script for.
He escapes to a seaside resort to get away from the pressures of production and to try and write his script. While failing to do so, Contini thinks about the impact of all the women in his life.
I believe the highlight of this film was seeing all of the actresses sing and dance. Kate Hudson was the actress that stood out to me the most. Her song "Cinema Italiano" was by far my favorite performance in this film! I found it awesome that she stepped out of her comfort zone, of romantic comedies, to perform in this film.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is into complex, interesting and symbolism filled movies. Or if you just like seeing girls dance in very little clothing.... anyways, I give Nine an "A"!
