Nino Rota composed the soundtrack.Juliet is a rather neglected middle-aged wife. Her husband Giorgio at the start of the film completely forgets their fifteenth wedding anniversary. The situation grows worse when Giorgio mutters another woman's name in his sleep. Juliet engages an investigator who discovers that sure enough, Giorgio is having an affair with a younger woman, a fashion model. Into this conflict comes Juliet and Giorgio's neighbor, the voluptuous, slutty actress Suzy (Sandra Milo) who urges Juliet to take revenge on her husband by having affairs of her own, and even tries to set her up with some studly young men.Meanwhile, a psychic who is one of the hangers-on at Juliet and Giorgio's lavish mansion hosts a seance. This seance seems to open a sort of psychic door in Juliet's consciousness, as she spends the rest of the movie having visions of people and things from her past.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Commonly regarded as a Real Life Writes the Plot work which reflects the marital tensions between Fellini and Masina, as well as Fellini's struggles with his own latent homosexuality.

Ambiguous Ending: Throughout the movie, Juliet has chance after chance to loosen up her uptight persona and embrace her sexuality, and time and again, she passes. In the last scene she walks outside her front gate and starts hearing the voices of the spirits, offering to stay with her forever. She then turns right and walks off in to the woods. The End. Fellini interpreted this as Juliet welcoming the spirits into her life, whereupon they became "positive, pleasant beings". Masina for her part interpreted the ending as Juliet being abandoned and alone.

Ambiguous Gender: Bhisma the medium. Played by an elderly actress with close-cropped white hair and described as a "man/woman" by Valentina, but otherwise referred to as "he".
