Nine

— It’s hard to imagine anyone who grew up watching Fellini movies not being intrigued by “Nine”. Rob Marshall knows how to ooze pizzaz, but I wonder about the women in his life. The music doesn’t hold a candle to “Chicago” but the cast does & the “look” is wonderful. Probably more scenes with lingerie than you’ll find in any other mainstream film. More interesting than expected, but not sure it achieved what was intended.
