Directed by Rob Marshall • 2009 • United States, Italy
Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz
A supernova ensemble cast—including Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, and an Oscar-nominated Penélope Cruz—lights up this extravagant musical take on Federico Fellini’s immortal autobiographical classic 8½. Finding himself at a personal and creative crossroads, famed film director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) must reckon with his complicated relationships with the myriad women in his life—exorcised in a series of dazzlingly choreographed song-and-dance spectaculars that reach heights of operatic delirium.
