Juliet of the Spirits Page #7

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.

We simulate

the atmosphere of a brothel.

How amusing.

Then you stare

into a man's eyes.

There, this one,

with the big nose.

Can't such a gentleman decide?

- Is this fine?

- Great, perfect!

- I offer a week in Japan.

- Shame on you.

- Fine, two weeks.

- Tightwad!

- It's Japan!

- Don't listen.

On your knees.

- What's your name?

- Ildegarda.

- No, your name is Sex.

- Sex.

- No, your name's Womb.

- Womb.

No, your name is now

the name of the goddess.

You're not yourself anymore.

You're the door, the soil,

the bed of divinity.

You're very pretty.

Are you a model?

Would you know a Gabriella?

- Who?

- Gabriella Olsi.

- Sure, I know her.

- I hear she's a beauty.

- Yes.

- More than me?

She's very beautiful.

Also a slut, right?

You can tell me, you know.

It's becoming

sort of a compliment.

Do I play my part well?

Lola, don't you think

she's perfect?

He's my godchild.

Nice, huh?

I'm up here.

Juliet, come up.

Go away!

What is it?

He's waiting.

He wants you.

The champagne.

Suzy is your teacher.

Listen to her, follow her.

I must have drunk too much.

Juliet, what are you doing?

I'm late, right?

- How are you?

- Have you seen Juliet?

No, I haven't.

Where are you going?

To your confirmation?

What are you doing?

- They're analyzing my wife.

- Oh, is the American doctor here?

Try to stay focused

and remember everything.

I want to see what happens

when your turn comes.

- This is very dangerous!

- I know you're afraid.

No, Giorgio, please.

In every psychodrama, each one of us

must contribute to the truth.

We must create an atmosphere

of total, absolute truth.

Look, I don't think

I'm the right person!

Try to re-enact that scene.

You're reproaching your brother-in-law.

Would you like to play

this lady's brother-in-law?

- The counselor is a little too old.

- I'm flattered.

Fine, let's have

this young good-looking man.

It'll certainly work out better.

I'm sorry.

I was reading his palm.

I don't understand!

I want to tell you something.

Come here.

Don't tell me about the future,

but about today.

Forgive me.

I won't do it again.

Signora, they're waiting for you.

Yes, I'm coming.

Enough! Leave me alone!

Barefaced liar!

I'll never again believe

a word you say.

Leave!

Out!

- Teresina, who are you talking to?

- Nobody, ma'am.

- Who were you talking to?

- Nobody.

- Who's there?

- Come on. Everybody's waiting.

Let me play this psychodrama.

There's a dark spot in my life

that has left me...

Good morning, everyone.

- Sit down.

- Hello, Mother.

- Finally.

- Hello, Adele.

- Care for a drink?

- No, thanks. Not now.

Dr. Miller has proposed a new game:

The psychodrama.

We reenact our anguishes,

projecting them onto somebody else.

Interesting. Right?

- Yes.

I've seen certain people

among your guests.

Love the kimono.

Your eyes are bloodshot.

Have you been crying?

I find these games utterly boring.

Remember not to fly on the 27th.

May we pay homage

to the lady of the house? So pretty!

Of course,

with such a beautiful mother...

I'll bet you it's a boy.

Don't forget I told you.

Juliet, listen.

This isn't a game.

You with that sad face,

why not try? Yes?

Quiet! It's Juliet's turn!

Perhaps she doesn't feel like it.

- Yes, I do. I'm absolutely fine.

- She does, she does.

It's an amazing psychological

experience. You'll feel set free.

It's like seeing oneself in a mirror.

- You get straight to your sore spot.

- Don't be afraid.

Tell us about

a painful event in your life.

Try to recall here, with us, the place,

the people, the circumstances.

Can you evoke the atmosphere

that characterized that event?

Can you really help me?

Here they come again.

Go away!

Go away!

- What are you saying?

- Nothing. It's just a game.

- Let me have this.

- Okay.

Cut down on cigarettes.

Follow your doctor's advice.

Can't you see them?

Hear them?

"Get revenge."

"Forgive."

Who should I believe?

"Make yourself beautiful."

"Life is a sacrifice."

"Be more feminine.

We'll teach you."

My life is full of people

talking, talking!

Go away!

Get out, all of you!

Water.

When I need something absolutely pure,

something sincere,

I always ask for water.

Simple things

are so important in life.

Things that don't conceal

something else.

Water is like a sincere glance

that conceals nothing.

Don't be afraid of the truth.

The truth sets us free.

After all, who cares

about other people's opinions?

In my country there's a saying:

"I am my own roof, window and hearth.

I feed upon my words

and drink from my thoughts.

Therefore I am happy."

Are you real, yes or no?

And what advice can you give me?

Tell me, what should I do?

I wouldn't know.

I just want you to live happily.

And Giorgio? Where is he?

- Do you know what he said?

- Quiet!
