JULIET OF THE SPIRITS
January 7, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This 1965 film was directed and co-written by Federico Fellini, and is one of the wildly imaginative visual narratives that solidified his reputation as a world-class pioneering film director.  It stars Giulietta Masina as a woman haunted by, among other things, the infidelity of her husband, a problem that is solved with insights from, for starters, a friendly prostitute. Masina was Fellini’s wife, making her nakedness here – emotionally, that is – all the more intimate.
