From the Back Cover
Barbarella is marked by the same audacity and originality, fantasy, humour, beauty and horror, cruelty and eroticism that make comic books such a favourite. The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella (Jane Fonda) makes a forced landing while travelling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing eveil in the forms of robots and monsters. She also rewards, in an uninhabited 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 had been a few years since I watched "Barbarella", and watching it again for a second time recently was joy, like discovering its kitsch joys for the first time all over again!
There's no point dwelling on the plot, because it's as thin and transparent as most of Jane Fonda's outfits! This is pure high camp comedy, wonderfully played up a superb cast. Some wonderful characters, brilliant one liners, and some of the oddest sets and costumes ever seen on film. Highly unenjoyable and would be instantly forgettable were it not for Jane Fonda excelling as our heroine and also for introducing the name "Duran Duran" to the world!

It's said that a reviewer asked Vadim why he opened the film with the free-fall strip. He said "Plenty of people who don't care about science fiction will watch it just to see Jane Fonda nude, so I put that at the start so they didn't have to sit through the rest!"
Just to say that anyone who did walk out as soon as the credits had finished floating over Fonda's skin would have missed an erotic treat as well as a comic one.

Wierd, charmingly innocent,costumes ahead of their time, including the legendary g-string, and a Jane Fonda you actually like because of her innocence. Plastic sets a plenty, lots of dry ice, but in there too are snipets of intellect, silly pink/red pencil sharpener spaceship with fake fur interiors merely add to the enjoyment.Even "the essence of man", for ladies who want to taste rather than feel the sense.Kinky leather robots with whips. Like I said, strange, but pure fantasy.

Camp, over the top, tongue in cheek, naive, but with a hint of the dark side. Jane Fonda is great, excellent soundtrack' stunning visuals for the date and brill supporting cast.
