Nine: A real paranoia
February 27
Nine is the movie that has slipped for the second consecutive year from my point of view of a completely exaggerated, because after seeing the movie is not the role of another world, Penelope Cruz, in the nominations for best actress., a kind of musical, directed by a specialist in gender as Rob Marshall-known Chicago or Cabaret on Broadway, thanks Wiki-is inspired by 8 ½, Fellini film in the 60's. It has an absolutely spectacular cast: Daniel Day Lewis, as the male lead, and on the female side, besides the already mentioned P, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench and Sophia Loren.
The películae
It tells the story of a film director, Guido Contini, played by Daniel Day-Lewis a little overacting as usual lately in him famous, and quite divo which is blocked by a lack of inspiration to all a new project.
The story blends reality with imagination of the director in the musical numbers that take place featuring all female cast of the film, which is associated with the principal role as mother, counselor, wife, lover, muse, femme fatale ... and not always by the same person the same role
So the reality and fiction are mixed throughout the film, which is also black and white images, and different time periods.
Perhaps most curious of the film is the annoyance caused by the inability to translate the director a script, showing the imagination to imagine "Their women" in musical scenes, which could be, well, the frame of the film front this apparent lack inspiration.
About them, are generally quite good. Sofia Loren, perhaps the least appears, but still has a big presence. Judi Dench is perhaps the stuffy, but just enough and is solvent popping. Kate Hudson not just seen in the role it plays, the better to return to romantic comedy. Nicole Kidman has no major role. P, for me, although it is sensual, that is undeniable especially in its music scene, it's not like to nominate. In fact, I think Marion Cotillard, which I suppose would be considered the lead actress, though, is, in theory, an ensemble film, with no defined leadership, I think it makes a better role than that of P and maybe she should be the nominee.
I thought it was a movie with little coherence in the narrative, but perhaps it is because the version I've seen, downloaded, did not have subtitles in the musical numbers, which has been maintained-otherwise it would be pointless-version original, which this time I have not paid much attention. In addition, perhaps in the musical genre that were not prepared I love, where you can allow these frivolities.
In the plot the director will face both his past, he remembers with nostalgia, as a present rather complicated, which must decide between his wife and her lover, between if your diva really is apparent, along with the apparitions of his dead mother, and a somewhat uncertain future.
In the end, just solving all more or less, although I must admit that I thought would better relationship between the musical numbers, which take place in the imagination of the director, and possible project.
In short, a different movie, probably likes music lovers, not excited about the rest.
