Juliet of the Spirits (Italian: Giulietta degli Spiriti) is a 1965 surrealistic drama film about an Italian housewife, directed by Federico Fellini.
Giulietta (played by Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina) explores both her subconscious and the odd lifestyle of her sexy neighbor, Suzy, 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. This was Fellini's first color film.
