Roger Vadim had impeccable taste in muses. Brigitte Bardot was a fantasy come true at her prime when Vadim directed her in "And God Created Women" and Jane Fonda in 1968 was also a spectacular sight to behold. In "Barbarella", Vadim films Fonda in various stages of undress and nudity all within the confines of a PG rating. "Barbarella" was the inspiration of many cheesy Cinemax soft core sci fi films and probably many other pornos. Despite the fact that the sex scenes are pretty tame, this movie has only one thing on its mind, Sex! Every Jane Fonda encounter with a male character ends up in a sex scene and even an encounter with a woman character implies sexual tension. Colorful and cheesy, it looks like everyone had a good time making this film. I would even bet that everyone was on drugs while filming it. A plot summary is pointless, this movie is really dated and silly. There is some rumor that Robert Rodriguez is doing a remake. I am sure the remake will be better than the original in every aspect except that it would be hard to find an actress in her prime now that would look as smashing as Jane Fonda was in this sci-fi cheese epic.
Rated PG for nudity and sexual content.
Aspect Ratio: 2.35
