Our take

Federico Fellini turned to colour cinematography for the first time in his career in order to realize this fever dream of self-discovery–and it paid off. At once baroque and intimate, Juliet of the Spirits is a kaleidoscope of immense feeling and thought from one of cinema’s greatest masters.
