Juliet of the Spirits review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 03/14/13
"Love thy wife as thy self." A very lush and color film about infidelity and loyalty. Juliet (Giulietta Masina) was surprised by the anniversary gift of Giorgio (Mario Pisu). The maestro and Giulietta tinker with the spirit of the glass. Score was lovely and locations were pleasant to the eyes. The elegant and bright costumees were noteworthy and performance of Masina was earnest. Some notable lines from Valentina - "We've become so complicated. So civilized," Headmaster - "You're behavior is unacceptable." The abrupt conclusion and pace seems to be a hindrance to the overall experience. It lacks that certain entertainment value of La Dolce Vita or an 8 1/2. Juliet of the Spirits was not as funny or entertaining as the other directors works, it's one of the most stylish though.
