‘A colourful Fellini fantasy... an essential collectors piece’ Sight & Sound
Hailed as one of the greatest tributes a husband has ever paid to his wife, Italian director Federico Fellini’s real life partner Giulietta Masina (La Strada), plays her namesake and delivers a superb performance in this internationally acclaimed classic.
Giulietta is a bored, timid and unfulfilled wife. Suspecting her husband’s infidelity, she enters a surreal journey of self-discovery filled with wild dreams and enchanting fantasies, much of which involve her sexually liberated neighbour Suzy (Sandra Milo).
With a whimsical score from Nino Rota, Fellini moves on from neo-realism and defines ‘Felliniesque’ in this breathtakingly beautiful carnival ride.
Winner of the 1966 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, Juliet of the Spirits (Giulietta degli Spiriti) is Fellini’s fantastical first ever feature-length colour film which now makes its Blu-ray debut courtesy of CultFilms.
This exceptional HD restoration is released in dual edition including its first ever UK Blu-ray version alongside the DVD, as well as available digitally on all UK platforms including Amazon on 24 September 2018.
Special features: • Audio commentary by Kat Ellinger (Diabolique magazine) • Dazzling Spirit: Exclusive video essay from author, critic and Oxford Professor Guido Bonsaver • New improved English subtitles
