Nine



The story of Nine is based on Federico Fellini’s 1963 classic autobiographical film 8½. Like the original and the subsequent Broadway musicals, Marshall’s version focuses on the problems of the suave, sensual Italian film director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) as he faces his 40th birthday. He is struggling to mount his ninth film, for which he does not have a script and is juggling the seven women in his life: his wife (Cotillard), his mistress (Cruz), his star (Kidman), his costume designer and confidante (Dench), his mother (Loren), an American journalist (Hudson) and a prostitute (Fergie). His desperate search for inspiration sparks memories of his past stormy relationships.
