About this product

Product Information

In this notorious film version of the popular French comic strip by Jean-Claude Forest, Jane Fonda plays a sexy yet innocent space-age heroine in the year 40,000 A.D. who never gets herself into a situation that requires too much clothing. BARBARELLA opens with the titular heroine stripping down to nothing in zero gravity among strategically placed credits. From there Barbarella embarks on a mission to find a peace-threatening young scientist named Duran Duran (Milo O'Shea) by order of the president of Earth. En route, she's attacked by killer dolls, is strapped into a contraption known as the Excessive Machine, and falls in love with a blind angel. Remaining true to its comic book origins, Barbarella's adventure unfolds in a series of dramatic difficulties and unlikely solutions, making for a galloping pace and never-ending opportunities for Mario Garbuglia's hallucinatory set design to dazzle. With guest appearances by 1960s icons Anita Pallenberg, Marcel Marceau, and David Hemmings, and featuring dialogue by novelist Terry Southern, among others, BARBARELLA is not only a comic sci-fi sex romp but also a sly, tongue-in-cheek portrait of the legendary debauchery of that era.

  • Jane Fonda's Regret-The World's Favorite

    A wonderful film based on the French Comic Book. Duran Duran gave his name to the band of the same name. Barbarella has so many adventures and learns about "Making Love" without the pill. Not the one you think! Angles fly and even Marcel Marceau SPEAKS. Invisible keys go missing, And Love and Goodness concurs all! A Must See for all humans

  • This was the psychedelic 60s

    This movie is so bad it's good. Over the top sets, psychedelic imagery, overacting, stupid cliches, sexual innuendos all through the movie. Somehow it all works.

  • Fun, camp, definitely too racy for youngsters!

    Surprised at how racy this movie was! Not like I remembered at all from the late 60's when it first came out. And much different from the cleaned up version that makes it to TV every 10 years or so.

  • Worst movie ever!

    This was probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Evan a scantily clad, young Jane Fonda could not salvage this piece of garbage. Don't waste your money. I'm reluctant to relist it on eBay because I'm ashamed to even own it.

  • nothing wrong with the title.

    better art, better text are both needed. I had great expectations and wanted this book for quite awhile. But was very disappointed.

  • Fun cult classic

    More than a cult classic, the characters are great, the sets amazing for the time, and the story compeling. Fun to watch. Plenty of action, eroticism, craziness and fun. Very entertaining.

  • Pop cuture trash at its apotheosis

    Jane Fonda and Anita Pallenberg were gorgeous.......the rest of the production was to put it charitably an abomination.
