In Juliet of the Spirits, Federico Fellini's first color film, the Italian master affirms his status as one of cinema’s visionary storytellers. The director’s wife, Giulietta Masina, stars as Juliet, a stifled housewife who suspects her husband of infidelity. When a traveling medium (Friedrich Ledebur) unleashes Juliet's power to see into alternate worlds, a phantasmagoric plot unfolds that goes even further than 8½.'s vivid dreamscapes. Fellini's trademark cavalcade of dissolute, unforgettable faces and forms includes Sandra Milo as a voluptuous, jokey neighbor and Mario Pisu as her raffish husband, both of whom bob and weave through the film with garish hauteur. Although Fellini's relationship with Masina was famously fragile during the filming, he allows Masina to live the part and indulge her own playful personality. Juliet is visually overwhelming, and Fellini deploys globs of fashion-plate color with gaudy elegance. The line between everyday life and wonderland is thoroughly blurred, as Fellini regales the viewer with kaleidoscopic, mesmerizing, "Fellini-esque" imagery. The Criterion Collection DVD of the film was struck from a restored print of the masterpiece that stands head-and-shoulders above previously available tapes, and sports an insightful 19-minute interview with the director.
