Giulietta Degli Spiriti

I've literally had this soundtrack as part of the mondo playlist that has streamed through the Squeezebox ad infinitum since the dawn of time. And I never tire of these tracks.

The film is Fellini's "JULIET OF THE SPIRITS" and the score is by Nino Rota, composer for many of Fellini's films (8.5, La Dolce Vita, La Strada, Il Bidone, Satyricon, etc.)

The film deals with a woman's quest for inner peace as she battles inner demons amidst her husband's womanizing. There are many trippy scenes as she delves into the world of spirits, seances, visions, prophets. And guess what? She can speak to spirits. Or maybe it's all in her head... David Lynch has definitely seen this movie a few times.

There's loads of ripping organ on this one. I don't know which organ they used but it sounds like a theater organ to me. Whoever plays it is a master. This, combined with spaghetti western guitar and classical instrumentation, is what makes it for me..
