Nine

Rob Marshall returns to what he does best after the ill fated "Memoirs of a Geisha" with another winning musical that dazzles because of its stellar cast. Based on Fellini's masterpiece "8 1/2", the film is a dazzling homage to Fellini, Italy, cinema and everything it's associated with. The dazzling cast delivers with outstanding performances that's the highlight of the film. Daniel Day-Lewis brings the necessary intensity as a famed director on the verge of a breakdown who's suffering from a writer's block that threatens his world and the women in his life. Marion Cotillard and Penélope Cruz are outstanding as the women in his life with breath taking performances. Sophia Loren and Judi Dench are every bit stellar in their own way as the mother and mother figure. Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson are perfect in their cameos while Fergie has the most catching tune in the film that's an instant classic. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
