"Arrogant, self-centered movie director Guido Contini finds himself struggling to find meaning, purpose, and a script for his latest film endeavor. With only a week left before shooting begins, he desperately searches for answers and inspiration from his wife, his mistress, his muse, and his mother. As his chaotic profession steadily destroys his personal life, Guido must find a balance between creating art and succumbing to its obsessive demands." -IMDb
Best Part:
I liked the lighting, the set and how they worked together. The set was used in many different ways and would be suddenly transformed when Guido would "dream." Through the use of lighting the set could very easily change.
Worst Part:
I felt as though there was no flow to the story. It was so jagged and seemed like it was trying to be another Chicago. It would cut away to dream-like sequences where you couldn't tell if this was just a little song and dance for the audience or if it was him dreaming it. Even the title didn't tie anything together because there were only 7 women, not 9 like I thought there would have been. It seemed like the story came second to each woman's solo. Each solo was very well done with make-up, costumes, etc. but I didn't think that it did much for the story or the flow.
