Description
It's a sign of the times that Federico Fellini's 1963 classic 8 1/2--widely considered the best film ever made about filmmaking--has been remade in such a way that its famous story of one man's artistic and spiritual crisis no longer resembles itself. The newly released Nine, a movie-musical update of 8 1/2, flattens personal moral struggle into a singing-and-dancing extravaganza. This coarsening follows a trajectory that started with the 1982 Broadway show that took a slender thread of Fellini's narrative (in which Italian filmmaker Guido Contini--Fellini's alter ego--retreats to a spa to escape his hectic life while plotting out his next movie) and wove it into a narcissistic showbiz tapestry. It became a playboy's revue displaying the comical, demanding women who populate Guido's life more than a personal, remorseful confession.
