A dazzling technical achievement, from the color to the tracking shots that delight in running down every detail of Juliet's companions.

Juliet of the Spirits
Overview
Middle-aged Giulietta grows suspicious of her husband, Giorgio, when his behavior grows increasingly questionable. One night when Giorgio initiates a seance amongst his friends, Giulietta gets in touch with spirits and learns more about herself and her painful past. Slightly skeptical, but intrigued, she visits a mystic who gives her more information -- and nudges her toward the realization that her husband is indeed a philanderer.

It never less than dazzling to look at.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
A mad, resplendent peacock of a film, a cinematographic riot of color and sensuality that evokes its era -- the swinging mid-'60s -- as much as any movie made during those giddy years.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
At once an eye-popping display of bravura and a work of compassionate insight.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Fellini went deliriously and brilliantly bananas with the color to create a rollicking through-the- looking-glass series of tableaus evoking a woman's troubled psyche.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
