Visual Delight
15 August 2009
Like most Fellini movies, Juliet of the Spirits is also a visual delight. There is a blast of colors and craziness on the screen, and its all very tasteful. In all this extravagance is Juliet, with her less than ordinary beauty but extraordinary visualization. She is caught between her love for her husband and his affair with someone else. She attends exotic clairvoyant parties and even more exotic sexual temptation parties. The magic of the movie is how Fellini brings to life Juliet's struggle with conflicts within her. Giulietta Masina is flawless in her role of the depicting the torn wife – with her trembling smile and questioning eyes. Sandra Milo, her polar opposite as the indulging temptress, is deliciously competent as well.
