She is caught between her love for her husband and his affair with someone else. Film data from TMDb. Awards Also, this film is kinda my cup of crazy, and I actually enjoyed it because of all the themes that mix with each other and how the imagery and set decoration is enough to entice you to enter this dream like movie. We get it. One of Fellini's most accessible films (his use of color really helps), he once again plays reality against an active fantasy life... fantasies that combine memory, fears, fleeting desires and the way we imagine the lives of others. It led me to other Fellini films and, since, he's become my favorite film director. Juliet of the Spirits is actually quite opposite of that. | Nino Rota's music is beautiful, but not as charming as in those other better Fellini's films. Why is 8 1/2 in my top 5 of all time and this one a 3/5? There's some beautiful poetic images, executed with inventive colour schemes and evocative blocking, but ultimately it all becomes indulgent. A tight narrative. Finally was able to afford a Really nice 4k Ultra HD TV, and the first film i watched on it was Juliet of the Spirits, because I wanted a spectacular dreamlike showcase of color, and I definitely got that. Towards the end of the film, there is a scene where she is trying to avoid voices and images around her while hosting a party. Giulietta degli Spiriti is perhaps the most symbolic and idiosyncratic example of his mind and probably of all Fellini features – and, believe me, that is saying a lot (some of his later works are truly bonkers). I was 15 years old when I stumbled into a cinema and caught my first Fellini film -- Juliet of the Spirits. The film's story explores ideas of infidelity, which was the main key that kept me engaged throughout; scenes are delivered to emphasise this but Federico Fellini, the director, restrains it too heavily and instead pushed forward the protagonist's psychological and spiritual conundrums. Taking the journey with this film is well worth the time and effort. Over and over again.

I also read the cover of the Criterion Collection DVD that indicated the director's very first Technicolor film was a "hallucinatory journey of self-discovery," making me think of the drug mantra of the Sixties: tune in, turn on, drop out. Ai-je sinon besoin de dire ce que l’on sait déjà ? La dirección técnica es un 10, una esquistez increíble. J’ai regardé au moins 7 films d’Olivier Godin hier soir et je ne peux m’empêcher de penser après avoir vu Juliette des esprits ce soir qu’il y a une légère inflexion fellinienne chez lui. The film featured a strong premise but sadly its plot and direction was a bit of a mess. My life is filled with people who talk, talk, talk! I used to think I hated Fellini movies. For me, as a relatively new student of Fellini, I understand that there is a progression in his films over the years. "For those who have ears, let them hear!". However Juliet of the Spirits feels like a rather unfocused exercise in surrealism. In all this extravagance is Juliet, with her less than ordinary beauty but extraordinary visualization. These forces would be banal in a standard film but Fellini chooses to visualize them as images and dreams. I am speaking of directors like David Lynch, Oliver Stone, and Akira Kurosawa. As usual, Masina, with her beautifully expressive face, is irresistible and although I didn't really like the film, I am glad I watched it. He said. Seeing his debut in these new shades is a cinematic treat especially since the plot and themes seem kin to his most popular pictures. For that straightforward reason I don’t really get why so many cinephiles, including and even especially fans of Fellini, don’t consider this a fine motion-picture. Fellini is a master on putting things in a very metaphorical way, and here he achieves to better himself even more. I was more than impressed, I was captivated. YES, it is very pretentious, if you don't like it or if you don't understand it that means this movies want not meant for you, but for the rest of us! It was at this point that I realized how perfectly every shot was set-up, and that there would be no way anyone could capture the feeling or the images with words. I hesitate to state that a male director has successfully penetrated the inner desires of a woman, but in this case I think Fellini has at least come close to the mark. An easy way of seeing how…, Tobias Andersen 8,341 films 16,462 756 Edit, Rules: Generate a number (from 1 to x) via: www.random.org, See how many number of films there are in the…, Updated: October 16, 2020 Created: January 19, 2013 View More Lists Follow Me, The Criterion Collection is a video distribution…, NeverTooEarlyMP 4,925 films 7,235 442 Edit. | My ‘education’ depended on what the BBC showed. I think the reason I enjoyed this film so much is because I love the work of these directors, and I could see the homage they were paying in their films to Fellini. It is rather impossible to contradict that, for Giulietta degli Spiriti is teeming with cyphers, quirkiness and unconventionalities: falcon statues with breasts,…, didn’t know it was possible that fellini could make a bad movie....... guess i was wrong. Like most Fellini movies, Juliet of the Spirits is also a visual delight. For me, one of the things that makes a film 10 star is that it provides something that only film can provide, and this is it; while the presentation is very theatrical, this quick intercutting of time/memory/mood can only be done in film. Putting aside all the visual tropes that take up the majority of this film's achingly long 137 minutes and examining the plot, the idea of a woman questioning her life and whether to endure a cheating husband dovetailed nicely with the emerging women's movement of the time. I think it comes down to precision, I’m sure a lot of people enjoy the free roaming and nonlinear stories of Fellini films, however to me they feel very hit or miss depending on their foundation. Through various episodic (which are questionably dream or reality) scenes, we see her struggles to come to terms with, and act on, her husbands affair, and it is an excellent film. Fellini understood that all art imitates life, but even more so, he understood that all art imitates the Divine. Enjoy! The story is very trivial, a woman is deceived by her husband and she does her best to find out why and with whom. For help, she begins inviting everyone into her personal life from private detectives to lurking spirits. Mobile site. Masina, once again, shines as the vulnerable yet strong willed centerpiece to a dominated relationship. This is a surreal exploration of the protagonist's self through metaphysical (and demonic activity) means before being a woman's process of coping with her husband's infidelity, and that is important to understand before anything. I noted that this picture won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign-Language Foreign Film. Great performances and memory dialog; the sexual revolution as a circus. Fellini captures such wonderful dream-like sequences in brilliant color. ✨✨✨✨✨✨            ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ♾                  ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨, Apoteósica. The story involves a woman who discovers that her husband is cheating on her. Except his last film, "The Voice of the Moon" (1990)(better he didn't do it). We're over it. ‘Giulietta degli spiriti’ It has led to a lifelong devotion to Fellini’s overall body of work, and obviously many cinematic explorations—all of them satisfying. She attends exotic clairvoyant parties and even more exotic sexual temptation parties. Its priorities emphasise frenetic camera movements and its bizarre costumes and external grandeur undoubtedly stimulates quite a spectacle, and the world which the film establishes itself with is committed to with considerable pleasure and enjoyment. All there was was BBC2, broadcasting maybe two subtitled films a month. I am glad to have finally seen this stylish exercise but would I wish to see it again? Juliet of the Spirits, while quite literally bright, lively, and whimsical on the surface, has an undeniable hollowness to it that I can’t quite articulate (obviously). In the late '60s it was a doper's favorite whenever 2001 wasn't available, and has been restored to a level of quality we probably never saw back then. Even though women played a central part in most of his films, they were always seen through other men's eyes. He also understood that only through this kind of conscious introspection can one become closer and closer to our own True Infinite Nature. Sandra Milo, her polar opposite as the indulging temptress, is deliciously competent as well. A bit creepy, a bit weird, but nonetheless it has a purpose. There is a lack of narrative cohesion, vision and creativity. His initial films are more generally coherent stories like "La Strada" and then his later films are more focused on the visual and surreal, like "8 1/2". Into this conflict comes Juliet and Giorgio's neighbor, the voluptuous, slutty actress Suzy (Sandra Milo) who urges Juliet to take revenge on her husband by having affairs of her own, and even tries to set her up with some studly young men.
