My preferred Fellini so far. I'm not a big fan of his work, especially his more dramatic efforts. In contrast, Juliet of the Spirits feels quite light and frivolous. There are more playful elements here that make the film a lot easier to digest, even when I didn't care so much for the main character and her challenges.
Juliet of the Spirit is a pretty extravagant film. The colorful cinematography and the outrageous fashion give the film a clear identity. It kept me engaged despite the excessive runtime, the mediocre performances, and the tepid drama. I didn't think it was a great film, but still much better than I had anticipated.
