 Barbarella
is a 1968 erotic
sci-fi film directed by Roger Vadim and based on the FrenchBarbarella
comics from Jean-Claude Forest.
Set in the 40th century, Barbarella follows the adventures of its title
character played by Jane Fonda. In the film, Barbarella is tasked by
the President of Earth with retrieving Doctor Durand Durand from the
planet SoGo in order to save the earth. Beyond this premise, the plot
is very
loose, serving mostly as an excuse for Barbarella to end up in erotic
situations. On her quest to find Durand Durand, Barbarella is seduced
by a human resident of SoGo, who introduces
her to penetrative intercourse (civilized people of Barbarella's
society find sexual release through pharmaceuticals), seduces an angel
named Pygar, and overloads a torture device (called the Excessive
Machine) which kills through sexual pleasure. |
