  DVD Savant Review: Juliet of the Spirits
Giulietta's mother (Caterina Boratto) and sisters are alternately critical and self-absorbed, her lawyer and a Brazilian visitor make unwelcome overtures, and she finds herself retreating into memories of her fl-sheep Grandfather (Lou Gilbert) and her own childhood in Catholic school, playing a saint burned at the stake in a school play.
Giulietta initially rejects the spirits, but her inability to get Giorgio to admit to his infidelity, and a general disillusion with the rest of her relationships, turns her back to the voices' comforting company.
In the 'real' portion of the show, there's Giulietta and her servants, who behave in a consistently mundane fashion, but not so the rest of Giulietta and Giorgio's bizarre associates, who constitute a predictable (and this is negative criticsm) Fellini chorus of freaks, asserting their oppressive viewpoints and their diverging sexual appetites.

 Cinefile Search Result: Detailed Information for  "Juliet of The Spirits / Giulietta Degli Spiriti" - ...
A film that mixes gorgeously seductive, oneiric imagery with lengthy passages of narratively static, reiterative inaction, somewhat reminiscent of Coppola’s One From The Heart this is either masterfully cinematic or woefully self-indulgent – or perhaps both.
Giulietta Masina plays an uptight upper-middle class housewife going through a breakdown as she tries to come to terms with her husband’s philandering.
She becomes susceptible to hallucinations that incorporate her family and neighbours who are already pretty much 9/10 on the weirdo scale.

 Avalard.com/KULTUK R2 dvd review: "GIULIETTA DEGLI SPIRITS (JULIET OF THE SPIRITS)"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
For Giulietta is a woman, prone to bizarre visions and contact with the spirit world, who stumbles upon proof that her husband is cheating her.
Giulietta is a cinematic marvel, with fantastic set contruction and superb production design which only serves to draw us in.
As ever death and betrayal is never far away, and the surrealist imagery that presents itself as Giulietta's visions takes the film into the world of painting and allying itself with the ilk of Matisse or Dali.

 Masina Giulietta: Biography
Born in San Giorgio di Piano (BO) in 1921, Giulietta Masina spent part of her teenage years living with a widowed aunt in Rome, where she cultivated a passion for the theatre and studied for a degree in Philosophy.
She began her career on the radio with the programme Terzoglio (1942), which brought her great success with the adventures of the newlyweds Cico and Pallina from scripts written by Federico Fellini.
From 1966 to 1969 she hosted the immensely popular radio show Lettere aperte a Giulietta Masina and starred in the television series "Eleonora" (1972), by Tullio Pinelli, directed by Silverio Blasi, and "Camilla" (1976), directed by Sandro Bolchi, based on the novel by Fausta Cialente, "Un inverno freddissimo" (1966).

 giulietta degli spiriti - movie and tv vault reviews at videovista.net
One of my best-loved Fellini films, Giulietta Degli Spiriti (aka: Juliet Of The Spirits) contains all his classic archetypes, surrealistic visions, hatred of the church and its manifold hypocrisies, a love/hate relationship with big-bosomed, terrifyingly licentious women, a delight in the flamboyant theatricality of the world, circuses, brothels, tinsel, tits and trash.
The simple, warm-hearted and domesticated Juliet (the incomparable Giulietta Masina) is at the core of all the hybridised goings-on throughout the film, yet she is a perplexingly meek and mild catalyst.
Usually calm, beatifically so, it is her gentle unravelling of events, or rather, the breakdown of her marriage that unfolds her life before us, offering to our gaze her inner world, peopled with spirits, memories, hallucinations and potentially lethal beliefs.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Juliet of the Spirits: The Criterion Collection
This typically episodic Fellini film concerns Giulietta (Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina), a staid housewife with an unexciting life whose husband (Mario Pisu) is a Fellini-like character surrounded by a carnivalesque crowd of models, gay hustlers, débutantes, Americans, psychics, socialites, and so on.
Meanwhile, she is haunted by crude sexual and religious visions, the thrust of the story being toward Giulietta freeing herself of the visions, and of her limited life as a housewife.
Like 8-1/2, of which this seems to be the feminine complement, Juliet of the Spirits is steeped in the pseudo "science" of psychoanalysis and its even-more-bogus variant propounded by Carl Jung, in which the internally conflicted Fellini was interested at the time.

During a party for her wedding anniversary a séance takes place in which raffish and erotic ghosts are evoked, together with innuendos of her husband¹s presumed betrayals.
Giulietta struggles between her stiff moral rules and the temptation to live without inhibitions, and confronts her inner world.
This newly restored 35mm print reveals Fellini's fantasy that is developed through colored illuminations as it was shot by the great Gianni di Venanzo in hues ranging from delicate pastels to garish primaries.

 DVD Times - Juliet of the Spirits
Whereas 8½ was a superb examination of the director’s subconscious, a masterpiece dredged from the anxiety of writer’s block, Fellini is much less successful in Giulietta degli Spiriti.
If the film’s filtering of ideas through the conduit of Giulietta is unconvincing, creating a work of art from your own personal affairs sure as hell beats going to a marriage counsellor and the treatment and images presented here are often stunning.
The print quality is fine here on the Criterion and the interview in the extra features interesting, but the print is not as good as it once appeared when now compared to the Nouveaux Region 2 release.

Giulietta and Giorgio’s marriage is no longer what it was: Giorgio conceals a new love, while Giulietta is painfully convinced of this truth and feels her world crumble around her.
She tries various methods in order to find a solution, from the supernatural to her mother’s advice, but she is only presented with the irrefutable proof of his betrayal.
The humble acceptance of the abandonment and the irrational but domineering hope in life, give her the strength to overcome her fears.

 MisterLUCKY: Reviews 5
Giulietta degli Spiriti (Juliet of the Spirits) was a much lighter film and the music remains on a similar note throughout the soundtrack, although there are the waltzes and circus themes as in La Dolce Vita.
Other than hearing the music in the film and the main theme on compilation albums, we weren't that familiar with the rest of the music.
Giulieta degli Spiriti has an occasional chorus of other-worldly voices that help accentuate the spirit world protagonist Giulieta Masina is dealing with but the effect is also very Space Age Pop, a la Esquivel.

 Giulietta degli Spiriti - DVDs & VHS - MovieMail UK
As with La Strada (1954) and Le Notti di Cabiria (1957), Giulietta degli spiriti was written and conceived especially for Fellini's wife Giulietta Masina.
Despite often being overshadowed by more widely-known Fellini classics such as La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8½ (1962), Giulietta degli spiriti (1965) undoubtedly stands as a significant film in the director’s oeuvre.
Much like the five young men in Fellini’s bleakly comic chronicle of middle-class male ennui I Vitelloni (1953), Giulietta is a character longing for a sense of purpose and direction.
