The Village Voice
La Dolce Musto
by Michael Musto
I’m truthin’ when I tell you that Nine Lives is a nonet of women’s stories, each told in one unbroken take, just because they could. At the premiere, MARY KAY PLACE told me that the filming process was exhilarating, “like going off a cliff”—but added that “you did not want to be the one to mess up the take.” She wasn't—but she did mess with my mind when she sardonically noted, “I love how you look me straight in the eye, then dart your eyes off to the side. Great technique.” Yeah, and it’s all done in one unbroken take.
