  the "perfect wife": fearful, obsessed, obedient, resigned, talking to the wind when there is none to talk to. creepy.

  The portrait of middle aged woman, her past, her ghosts, her beliefs. All of that approached with an intense use of psychedelic scenes, the very characteristic style of Fellini. A story, for it's strong visual, only possible in cinema.The director's wife and muse, Giulietta Masina, plays a very enjoyable interpretation here. Needless to say that the soundtrack is spectacular, probably one of Nino Rota's bests.

  Surreale come un quadro di Dalì. Disturbing, fascinating...love it, and love Fellini. I was thinking that "8 e 1/2" was the best one, but this is even better.

• - -'s rating of the film Juliet of the Spirits

  This was my third Fellini film, and I liked the other two more. I was captured by the bizarrely rapid pace at the beginning of the film and the premise held promise for me (a woman dealing with her self worth during a marriage crisis), but for me the middle got boring and I wasn't feeling Fellini's "here are some dreams/ghosts" like I was in 8 1/2. I just don't think I'll ever be a huge fan of his.

  Bright whimsy. Stunning art direction, costume and cinematography overcome the somewhat confused strands of domestic stultification, mysticism and sexual adventure.

  A colorful, vibrant, and surreal flight of fancy that only Fellini could deliver, with extraordinary, imaginative dream-like - and sometimes nightmarish - imagery and excellent color cinematography by Gianni di Venanzo, and a superb central performance from Giulietta Masina. An absolute classic. Another great, jubilant score by Nino Rota.

  I want to call this movie a masterpiece so badly but argh! It's just not there, there's some delirious bits that are impossible not to admire and the lead is all kinds of charming but Fellini can't quite make his point without it feeling excessive at least to me. And in the end it just doesn't quite come together in the way that something like 8 1/2 does. A must see none the less.
