 Nine (Musical) (Theatre)
comment
A 1982 musical adaptation of Federico Fellini's classic 8½. Nine was conceived by librettists Arthur Kopit and Mario Fratti, and songwriter Maury Yeston. The story is that of world-famous film writer/director Guido Contini (played by Raúl Juliá in the original Broadway production), a man who's facing a midlife crisis on many fronts as he turns forty. On one hand, he can't come up with a script for his latest film. On another hand, his marriage to his wife Luisa is on shaky ground. Factor in the other women in his life, including his mistress, his confidant and costume designer, his film star muse, and his mother, and Guido's got some issues.It was adapted into a film in 2009, with the cast consisting of Academy Award winners Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, and Sophia Loren; Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson, and Fergie.Not to be confused with the "stitchpunk" animated film 9, which came out three months before Nine's film version was released.

Know-Nothing Know-It-All: "Cinema Italiano" has Stephanie singing about everything she loves in Guido's films. But she only focuses on the superficial aspects, such as the camera angles, costumes and accessories. Word Of God is that the song represents journalists who write on subjects they know nothing about.

comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: Although Saraghina in 8½ is a Big Beautiful Woman, she's still meant to be chubby, but she's been played by more slender actresses on stage. Fergie plays her in the film, but did have to gain weight for the role. The film's version of Stephanie Necrophorus turns the older, vitriolic film critic of the musical into a young reporter played by Kate Hudson.

N+1 Sequel Title: Or N+1/2 Adaptation Title in this case. This musical is an adaptation of 8½, called such because Federico Fellini directed 6 features and 3 shorts (or "7 and a half" films, counting each short as "half" a film) before it. The musical is counted as a new "half", bringing the total to 9.

In the end, it could only manage four nominations at the Oscars, far less than the thirteen raked in by Chicago seven years earlier.

Maybe Ever After: In the film Luisa is seen sneaking onto the set to watch Guido start shooting. Lili says earlier that she assumes Luisa is seeing someone new but isn't sure - and the last shot of Luisa is her smiling. This leaves it open as to whether she and Guido may reconcile. It's the same case for Carla and her husband. The last we see of her (outside of Guido's imagination) is him taking her back home, implying he knows about the affair. It's left open whether their marriage will survive.

Fan Disservice: In the film during "Take It All", Luisa, portrayed by gorgeous Marion Cotillard, declares her intention to leave him, Guido imagines his wife as a burlesque dancer performing a tantalizing strip-tease while a bunch of callow men catcall and fondle her, all while she tearfully sings of what Guido has reduced her and her self-worth to.

comment
Musical World Hypothesis: Rob Marshall's film blends the 'All In Their Head' and 'Adaptation' theories. Each musical number is a manifestation of Guido's inner thoughts and memories. Or else it's a representation of a conversation he's having with someone - namely his dramatic scenes with Claudia and Luisa.

Cerebus Syndrome: "My Husband Makes Movies" starts out as an upbeat number about how Luisa is proud of her husband's success. It quickly becomes very sombre as we see how their marriage is in shambles.

Cool Old Lady: Liliane, having been the vedette of the Paris Folies Bergeres and, in the film, the costume designer, who's also the Only Sane Man and the only person who both encourages Guido and calls him out on his stupidity.

Shaking Her Hair Loose

comment
Shaking Her Hair Loose: Played for Drama actually. We're shown a memory of Luisa and Guido's first meeting, where he took her hair down during a screen test. When she sees him doing the same to another actress in her screen test, it's the last straw for their marriage.

Male Gaze: There's one rather gratuitous bit in the film where Stephanie is in the dressing rooms before the "Finale" - and the camera tilts down to focus on her ass.

Composite Character: Stephanie, the American reporter in the film version, is a composite of the associate producer Stephanie Necrophrous and reporter Lina Darling from the musical.

The Muse: Each of the women in Guido's life is one to him in some way. In Greek mythology, there were nine muses, which could be what his film title Nine is referring to.

Oktoberfest: The musical, though set in Italy, provides a taste of this flavor with the number "The Germans At The Spa."

Movie Bonus Song
 Nine (Musical) (Theatre) / int_fcb75a9
comment
Movie Bonus Song: Three of 'em! "Cinema Italiano", a solo for Stephanie Necrophorus, establishing both her character and the popularity of Italian movies in the 1960s for the audience's benefit. (despite the fact she is the exact opposite type of character in the musical) "Guarda la Luna", replacing the show's titular song as the solo for Guido's mother. Based on the "Waltz for Nine" instrumental from the second act. "Take It All", which replaces Luisa's "Be On Your Own", since Yeston believed the latter to be to inactive and stage-y for film. Originally conceived as a trio for her, Carla, and Claudia.

comment
Adaptational Nationality: Claudia Nardi in the original show is Italian. In the film, where she's played by the very fair and blonde Nicole Kidman, her last name becomes 'Jenssen' - implying she is Dutch or German. Stephanie is Italian in the original musical, but becomes an American in the film. Luisa is Italian but becomes French in the movie to accommodate Marion Cotillard (though she's said to have Italian ancestry).
