BARBARELLA FILM REVIEW |
|
"See Barbarella do her thing", "The space age adventuress whose sex-ploits are among the most bizarre ever seen." The charmingly dated, endlessly funny Jane Fonda cult favourite
Fonda's signature role has inspired everybody from Duran Duran (who named themselves after O'Shea's bad guy), to Kylie Minogue (who based the video for her single 'Put Yourself in My Place' on Fonda's naked floating around in space).
The film has our futuristic heroine sent off on a mission to save the planet from the clutches of the afore-mentioned Durand Durand, a scientist whose dabblings are threatening to upset its fragile stability.
It's all pretty hokey of course (with Barbarella's, of course flimsy, clothes tumbling off at any given opportunity and a whole bunch of ridiculously OTT damsel-in-peril sequences in which Fonda gets to battle razor-toothed dolls and assorted other enemies), but with its broad comedy, B-movie special effects and luminous star, it's also great fun.
