BARBARELLA (1968)
"A trippy '60s freak-out fueled by gorgeously deranged excess ... so deliriously tasty it's like eating candyfloss." - MORIA FILM REVIEWS

"BARBARELLA is an outrageously fun movie ... equally kitschy and sexy. Perhaps no other movie has provided as much inspiration for drag queens and go-go dancers." - THE DIGITAL BITS

"See Barbarella do her thing!"

Is sex really better in outer space? In this outrageously campy pop art movie version of the popular French comic strip by Jean-Claude Forest, a pre-politicized Jane Fonda (who spent many years afterward trying to live down her intergalactic alter ego) plays a sexy yet innocent space-age explorer in the year 40,000 A.D. who never gets herself into a situation that requires too much clothing.
BARBARELLA opens with our wide-eyed heroine stripping down to nothing in zero gravity among strategically placed credits. From there Barbarella embarks on an wild mission to track down a dangerous young scientist named Duran Duran (yes, the inspiration for the '80s New Wave pop band of the same name) by order of the president of Earth. En route, she's attacked by killer dolls, is strapped into a funky contraption known as the Excessive Machine (which kills by administering excessive pleasure), battles an evil one-eyed lesbian queen, and falls in love with a blind angel named Pygar (played by mod '60s actor John Phillip Law, star of Danger: Diabolik). Will Barbarella complete her mission? Will she feather her nest with the blind angel? And most importantly, will she ever run out of insane '60s-a-go-go outfits to wear while traipsing around the cosmos?
Remaining true to its comic book origins, BARBARELLA unfolds in a series of wacky situations and cliffhanger episodes, moving at a whiz-bang pace and featuring never-ending opportunities for Mario Garbuglia's hallucinatory pop art set design to dazzle the eyes (who else but Barbarella would pilot a shag-carpeted spaceship?). With guest appearances by 1960s icons Anita Pallenberg, Marcel Marceau, and David Hemmings, and featuring a tongue-in-cheek screenplay by novelist Terry Southern (who seems intent on spoofing the debauchery of the swinging '60s), BARBARELLA is a classic comic sci-fi sex romp that really blasts off!
