Barbarella is marked by the same audacity and originality, fantasy, humor, beauty and horror, cruelty and eroticism that make comic books such a favorite. The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella (Jane Fonda) makes a forced landing while traveling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots and monsters. She also rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure. Whether she is wrestling with Black Guards, the evil Queen, or the Angel Pygar, she just can't seem to avoid losing at least part of her skin-tight space suit!
It's based on a Franz Kafka story called In The Penal Colony.

I like the fact that she tries to come off as either a super hero or a spy. Instead she lets anybody or thing give her orgasm after orgasm. Is she a slut or whore? Probably not it was the 60's. However it's hard to take the character seriously. She tries to reason with the villain after he literally cleans her clock. Then after she's trapped in the chamber of dreams she is less of a threat. She never was taken seriously. But at least she can die with a smile with all those orga

I think this movie is fab. It's not anywhere near perfect but it sure blows away alot of movies that don't take you anywhere, at least this movie tries even if it's camp or
out of time. You have Fonda in her prime and all the actors seem into it..what was missing..> ZAPPA!! I'm so curious why Frank Zappa (i understand his ideals) made his association to this so divided, since he was such a Sci-Fi fan..and he could have cranked out amazing incidental musak..just listen 2 Lumpy Gravy!
