| | 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. |
