"Be Italian" Again

Um, finally. The Oscar-baiting "Nine" trailer is finally out.
Not good enough for Cannes, I take it. A trailer is no way to judge a movie, but let's see: the numbers look like they're shot on the same studio as "Chicago" and the overall aesthetic is more "La Dolce Vita" than "8 1/2." Anita Ekberg seems to be an inspiration for the women. Daniel Day Lewis channels Marcello Mastroianni nicely. And Fergie's breasts, in true Fellini fashion, are big enough to scare and entice at the same time.
The irony of the song is that with the exception of Sophia Loren, none of its main stars are Italian.
