He cannot figure out his next film project, all the while balancing the numerous women in his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penélope Cruz), his star and muse (Nicole Kidman), his costume designer and confident (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), a prostitute (Stacey Ferguson), and his mother’s ghost (Sophia Loren). *FOUR OSCAR NOMS: Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Music-Original Song.
