Juliet is a wealthy housewife who constantly fears her husband, Giorgio (Mario Pisu), is cheating on her. While she yearns for a peaceful intimate evening on the night of their 15th anniversary, the egotistical Giorgio has forgotten about it and instead arrives home with his eccentric friends. After a trip to a séance, Juliet is haunted by images from the spirit world, including obsessions from her past involving religion and her late relatives. With her sisters and mother prying into her life, Juliet seems to be seeking an inner peace amidst all the sexual temptations surrounding her. She meets her neighbor, Suzy (Sandra Milo), a showy pleasure-seeker who lives in a sensual playhouse. It appears that all of Juliet's family, friends, and fantasies demand that she loosen up and embrace sexual freedom, yet she remains chaste and dowdy, lamenting over her unfaithful husband. The reasons for Juliet's repression are not clearly defined by the narrative, despite glimpses into her supposed imagination. Forced to endure the constant bombardment of sexually charged imaginings, the demure Juliet retreats on her own.

*** OFFICIAL So. Korean Import Release / NTSC - ALL REGION PLAY *** NOTE: If Korean Subtitles are set as Default, they are EASILY REMOVABLE ** ** Full Screen ** ** Aspect Ratio - 4:3 ** ~~~~~~~~~~ Five young men linger in post-adolescent limbo dreaming of adventure and escape from their small seacoast town. They while away their time spending the lira doled out by their indulgent families on drink, women, and nights at the local pool hall. Federico Fellinis second solo directorial effort (originally released in the U.S. as The Young and the Passionate) is a semi-autobiographical masterpiece of sharply drawn character sketches: Skirt-chaser Fausto, forced to marry a girl he has impregnated; Alberto, the perpetual child; Leopoldo, a writer, thirsting for fame; and Moraldo, the only member of the group troubled by a moral conscience. An international success and recipient of an Academy Award® nomination for Best Original Screenplay, I Vitelloni compassionately details a year in the life of small-town layabouts struggling to find meaning in their lives. *** Federico Fellini's breakthrough film, the 1953 I Vitelloni, is one of the cinema's seminal stories about slacker males, and a highly entertaining one at that.

Description Features Fellini's 8 1/2, OPen City & Rocco & His Brothers. Experience the very best of Italian cinema with this must-own collection of landmark Italian films on DVD. Featuring the most prestigious directors in Italian cinema history, including Federico Fellini, Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti, these are films to cherish for a lifetime. 8 ½ (1963) Fellini's Academy Award-winning masterpiece remains one of the great films about moviemaking. A film director (Marcello Mastroianni) retreats into a world of memories, dreams and fantasies to escape his stifling career and family. The result is both surreal and dazzling, marking 8 ½ as the quintessential Fellini film. Rocco and his Brothers (1960) Starring Alain Delon (Le Samourai) and Claudia Cardinale (81/2), Luchino Visconti's neo-realist masterpiece is a compelling chronicle of class war, personal downfall and family disintegration as a poor southern Italian family struggles to adjust to life in the industrial city of Milan. Inspiring the work of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, the film won numerous international awards and remains a milestone of Italian cinema. Open City (1945) Filmed in the still war-torn streets of Rome shortly after the Nazi withdrawal, Roberto Rossellinis Open City is considered his greatest work and the defining example of Italian neo-realist cinema. Shot on scavenged ends of film, this classic war saga went on to win the Palm dOr at Cannes in 1946.
