 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 veryBarbarella 2 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.
