Film Series: Juliet of the Spirits
Tuesday, April 5, 7 p.m.; Cline Library; Free
"Made in 1965, around the time the term psychedelia was coined to describe a luminous Day-Glo vision of the world, Federico Fellini's phantasmagoric Juliet of the Spirits was the Italian master's first color film. Fellini went deliriously and brilliantly bananas with the color to create a rollicking through-the-looking-glass series of tableaus evoking a woman's troubled psyche. These sequences are a zany, surreal jumble of Freudian, Jungian and pagan symbolism segued into a 145-minute head trip.”
— Stephen Holden, The New York Times. Academy Award nominations for art direction and costume design. Golden Globe winner, Best Foreign-language Foreign Film.
