Nine
Nine marshalls a galaxy of stars in stupendous musical setpieces: Penélope Cruz sliding down a swag of pink satin as if it were a banister; Kate Hudson's flirty, flashbulb-dazzled fashion runway; Fergie's beachside tarantella with arcs of sand cascading from tambourines. But based on the Broadway musical, based on Federico Fellini's film 8½, based on Fellini's own life, Nine feels as weighed down by intertextual references as a Folies Bergère showgirl by sequins and feathers.
MIFF Random Play
With seventeen days of films on offer, some of your choices will come down to guesswork - even if you fine-tooth through the program with IMDB bookmarks and a magnifying glass. We roll the dice with some random, synopsis-selected, will-they-or-won't-they picks.
Why not embrace the proud ThreeThousand tradition of choosing a flick based solely on its title? This year it's debut feature with French New Wave tendencies The Pleasure of Being Robbed.
