Ciao Amalfi

Movies, Positano · May 15, 2009

Be Italian!

A good friend who knows my love of films by Federico Fellini just sent me this trailer for the upcoming move called Nine directed by Rob Marshall (director of Chicago). What comes after Fellini’s 8 1/2? Nine! With a stellar cast, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, and the eternally beautiful Sophia Loren, this is certain to be an extravagantly good time. Here is the movie description:

“NINE” is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren). The film is directed by Rob Marshall (CHICAGO). The original 1982 Broadway production of “NINE,” with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.

Any man would go mad trying to balance those women! By the way, did you catch that glimpse of Positano at minute 1:33? Can’t wait to see this!

    That’s quite a round up of stars. I wonder if any was actually filmed in Positano?

    Grrrr, I almost worked on that film, but didn’t make it in the end. I’m sure it was filmed in Cinecittà studios in Rome, and some second unit stuff in Positano too.

    Ciao sweet friend

    Ciao Linda! I agree!! I wonder how long I will have to wait to see it here in Italy??

    Ciao Scintilla! Yes, it is quite a cast! I have never been a particular fan of Daniel Day-Lewis, but mostly because of the types of movies he generally makes. I am curious to see if there is more of Positano, too!

    Ciao Lola! Wow, that would have been an adventure. You have such a fascinating and exciting job! Alway lovely to hear from you here! Ciao bella!

    Ciao Annika! Me too! Do you have to wait forever and a day to see American films in Sweden, or do they arrive sooner there than in Italy?

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶
Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
