Movie director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) is in the throes of a midlife crisis, struggling to write his film while juggling relationships with wife Luisa (Marion Cotillard), mistress Carla (Penélope Cruz), muse Claudia (Nicole Kidman), producer Lilli (Judi Dench) and his mother (Sophia Loren). Rob Marshall (Chicago) helms this Golden Globe-nominated musical based on the Broadway smash; Stacy Ferguson and Kate Hudson co-star.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Drama, Musical, Romance
The musical number with no words at the start is masterful, but the rest is the standard formula of singing the plot/thought/emotion rather than acting it. Good non-musical scenes - this movie could use a version with the musical interludes cut out.
