Juliet of the Spirits (Italian: Giulietta degli Spiriti) is a 1965 surrealist drama film about an Italian housewife, directed by Federico Fellini. It was Fellini's first feature length color film. His first color film appears in Boccaccio 70.
Giulietta (played by Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina) explores both her subconscious and the odd lifestyle of her sexy neighbor, Suzy (Sandra Milo), to help her deal with her mundane life as well as her philandering husband (Mario Pisu). As she spends more time in touch with her desires, she slowly gains more independence.

Juliet of The Spirits (1965) again shows Fellini's mastery of moving camera, as evident in both La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8 1/2 (1963). In Juliet the camera movement is greatly enhanced by the use of the unprecedented use of color by Fellini. The mise-en-scene is so mesmerizing that it is a total joy to watch this story of a played-upon wife. Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina, is adorable in the title role, and is rich in pathos as she first demonstrated so brilliantly in La Strada (1959). Fellini is sorely missed in international cinema today; sorely missed.
