NINE LIVES (2005) 九条命

Nine Lives is a 2005 American drama film written and directed by Rodrigo García. The screenplay, an example ofhyperlink cinema, relates nine short, loosely intertwined tales with nine different women at their cores. Their themes include parent-child relationships, fractured love, adultery, illness, and death. Similar to García's previous work,Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, it is a series of overlapping vignettes, each one running about the same length and told in a single, unbroken take, featuring an ensemble cast.

Captives of the very relationships that define and sustain them, nine women resiliently meet the travails and disappointments of life.
