Juliet of the Spirits Page #6

Synopsis: Juliet lives in a beautiful house by the ocean. Her sisters, and especially her Mother overshadow her with their beauty. She is a spiritual, superstitious and naive woman. She visits a psychic seer who tells her she must follow the sex trade in order to be happy. Not long after she meets her eccentric and sexy neighbour, Suzy, who, by all counts appears to be a high class prostitute and encourages Juilet into sexual acts which make her guilty and nervous. A rare night when her husband is at home she wakes up to catch him talking to another woman on the phone. He calls out the name "Gabriella" while sleeping, but when she questions him he lies his way out of it. She finds out who Gabriella is and fears her husband will leave her. Juliet begins having visions who accuse and terrorize her. The pinnacle of the visions comes at the end where it is implied she realizes she would be better off without her husband and is ultimately emotionally emancipated.

there are four of us.

God, I hope

you won't think badly of me.

Men have such funny fantasies,

you know!

Come on in!

The water's warm!

Another one of my ideas.

After we make love, we slide down.

It's great!

Take off your clothes and come on in!

- No, thank you.

Once Momy dove down headfirst.

He nearly kicked the bucket.

Come on, Juliet.

Dive in!

I fulfill my desires.

I don't deny myself a thing.

Look. What's up there?

I eat, dance, play, fight!

I love fighting!

Let's sunbathe.

Up there!

Much better than the beach.

It's my very own sun.

Look. There's the switch.

- Are we going up there?

- Sure! Pull the lever down.

There's a convent in Greece

on a mountain

where the monks

get up this way.

Send it down again.

- Do I lift the lever?

Good! Your turn now!

Ready?

- Yes!

Don't be afraid!

If your head starts spinning,

close your eyes!

- Give me your hand.

- I can manage.

They can look all they want.

They'll never find us.

- Sure.

- We've lost them.

- Who?

- Those two guys in the car.

Didn't you notice?

I saw two lovers in those bushes

the other day.

How they made love!

I felt like applauding,

they were so good.

It looked so delicate,

so festive from up here.

Is your head still spinning?

Let's have a drink.

The sun has reached its zenith.

The most beautiful hour of the day.

No shadows now.

Oh, it's full of rain.

There are two fish inside.

Sit down.

Let's undress

and sunbathe naked.

I'm just fine.

Granny mixes up perfumes

with wild flowers.

Try some.

Men get so drunk on it.

Once the engineer...

What d'you say about your marriage?

- Nothing.

Don't you trust me?

- Yes, but...

- So? Tell me.

Haven't you ever thought

about getting married?

No, never.

See, I always thought

marriage worked this way:

I was all his

and he was all mine.

I'm ashamed to say it,

but Giorgio was my first love.

I saw him and fell in love.

All I wanted was to be with him.

He asked me to marry him.

I couldn't believe it.

He became my whole world:

Husband, lover, father, friend,

my home.

I didn't need anything else.

I thought it was the way

it was meant to be. I was happy.

- They may be at the beach.

- Maybe they're gone.

- No, there they are!

- What are you doing?

See? They found us.

Naughty boys!

We've got something to give you!

- Do you know them?

- Never saw them before.

Tell me about your lovely wedding.

Did you know

I was to marry at 13?

Oh, I dropped my shoe!

I'm sorry, it's late.

I have to get back home.

- Are you leaving?

- Yes.

Could you let me down?

You can come up here

whenever you'd like.

- Hello. How are you?

- Please.

There.

Won't you stay with us?

I get off at the first floor.

You stay on.

"And among all of these trials

was the most terrifying:

The labyrinth.

The labyrinth is a great palace.

Once you've stepped in,

you can't leave.

The more you wander,

the more you lose your way."

Here.

What's with you today?

A little blue, signora.

So what did the ogre do?

Could I leave early today?

Aunty!

"But the ogre,

who was a true daredevil, said,

'I'll get in the labyrinth."'

You may leave, Teresina.

"What will you give me

if I escape?"

But I don't like you leaving

every day between 3:00 and 8:00.

"They walked through a wood

of golden apple trees,

so plentiful

and so resplendent

that even at night

it was as bright as day."

- Is the lady at home?

- Yes. Who's speaking?

A friend.

Just a second.

Go play outside.

Go ahead.

We'd like to see you.

Could you come this afternoon?

Today?

I don't know if today...

Have you found something already?

We spent seven rather busy days,

but I think

you'll appreciate our work.

- Can't you tell me over the phone?

- Honestly,

it's not our policy,

you do realize...

- Of course.

- We'll be waiting then.

I'll do my best.

My respects, signora.

I honestly think we have

some outstanding results.

Maybe we can show you

what you wanted to know.

I can see your worries,

but do believe me,

nothing is irreparable.

Please, sit down.

If you only knew

how many couples reconciled here.

A little drink?

The only way to truly love

is to really know each other.

St. Augustine's words.

Today isn't a defeat.

The shots aren't always in focus,

but consider the conditions

my men had to work in.

Here are the first three days.

From the 23rd to the 25th.

I'll read the enclosed report.

"On the 23rd, subject left at 7:30,

wearing white suit.

A car follows him

from home to a florist's."

Needless to say,

we have all the data on the recipient

of this floral homage.

Here she is

going into a restaurant.

The hat makes positive identification

impossible.

See, signora.

I suggest our clients consider

all they see

with a little detachment.

See, our objective point of view

is limited.

Perception and reality

are two different things.

This could be innocent.

Is that Lake Bracciano?

No, a field below the castles.

"On the 24th,

an afternoon trip to the Appian Way.

Stopped in the fields,

from 4:
20 to about 6:00."

The girl's name is Gabriella Olsi.

Let's look at the slides

while I change reels.

I shot these personally.

The tape recorder.

We also taped a conversation

between them in a park.

My God.

That wasn't me.

When we met you had another...

When I met you

When I met you

There was the moon

You should be flattered

I'm showing my jealousy.

It bothers me.

- Should I change?

- You're perfect.

The interpretation is up to you.

What can we say?

We're the exclusive holders

of this material,

to be exhibited only in court.

And only if subpoenaed.

equipment, per diems,

overtime, etc.

Your invoice, signora.

And believe me,

we've treated you fairly.

Our respects, dear lady,

and allow us to express our wish

that it all turn out

for the best.

Have a good time, madam.

Here's our charming neighbor.

I knew you'd come.

How are you?

Your husband's been punished?

He's not back yet.

My husband is always late.

He works.

He works a lot.

So I came by myself.

He's got complete trust in me.

And he's completely wrong.

You've met my mother.

Best not to wake her

or she'll start singing.

Masku has Maometto

guiding his hand.

Momy, this is Juliet.

Thank you for honoring my house.

Know who that is?

That's Momy, my fianc.

He's 65 years old.

And he wants

to make love every day.

And he does!

What's up?

You look so sad.

Sad? Me?

Not at all. I'm fine.

Actually, I feel like having fun.

Good! And I feel like

hugging everybody. Here.

I want you to be happy.

Your attention, please.

This is the most intimate

and secret moment.

Now Tudefonde

has captured the winds,

and each girl is the maid servant

of purification.

An ancient Egyptian

rite of passage

between life and death.

I am the goddess of vice.

An hour with me might kill you,

but you'll reach the heights

and depths of pleasure.

This is my hour.

At 11:
00 I reach

the peak of my desire.

This is a game in Lola's honor.
