Juliet of the Spirits

1965 · 148 min

A lush, dreamlike plunge into a woman's inner world, where memories and fantasies blur into a colourful, unsettling, and ultimately liberating experience.

Tagline
The inhibitions... the desires... the obsessions... of a jealous woman held prisoner by her own dreams
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.
