Come si è visto attraverso gli occhi e sentire nel cuore


I just got a chance to see the film NINE. It was a spectacular feast for the eyes, ears and heart. The story of the film centers on the fictional character Guido Contino, a world famous, 1960's Italian film director who is having a mid life crisis while trying to find his muse to create his comeback film. The story is a very thinnly veiled interpretation of Federico's Fellinni's semi-autobiographical movie 8 1/2. The maestro is plagued by the memories of all of the women he has chased throughout his life, his infidelities and the resulting emotional turmoil. The film follows the musical tradition of the Broadway hit however, it has the flavor of the 1960's, the flash and dazzle of a modern masterpiece and an emotional intensity that anyone of any age can feel.

Take a moment to check out this trailer of NINE.

This film was created in Venice and Milan. Just as we use our imagination on this journey we can enjoy the magic of "I Cinema" to take us to many times and places we will never get to see in reality. So take a the time to see another man's life as seen through the eye and felt in the heart.
