Juliet of the Spirits

Sorry for another one of my famous, late night posts. I didn't get home until like, 9, and then I needed to run out and pick up dinner and stuff it in my face. I probably didn't start the movie until close to 11pm. Ah well, at least I got it done! We're having a big event tomorrow for work, and I'm going to volunteer for it in the evening. At least I can sleep in a little bit, although I'll need to get up early to get my movie watched before I go.

Today I watched Juliet of the Spirits, directed by Federico Fellini in 1965. It was his first color film, and it's really just over-the-top with his style. I don't really know how I feel about the movie, though. Ebert seems to think it's a lot better with subtext about Fellini himself and how the movie was made, but nevertheless, it's still great to look at. I...agree? I think?
