In the far future, a highly sexual woman is tasked with finding and
stopping the evil Durand-Durand. Along the way she encounters various
unusual people.
Based on a French comic strip, Barbarella is a camp and surreal sci-fi adventure that generally centres around getting rid of Jane Fonda's pesky clothes. Although not at all a porno movie, the aim is more to tease with her body innocently and use various kitsch and humorous ways of doing so. There is a distinct 1960s free love feel about it and the costumes and sets make it appear like a slightly more x-rated Star Trek, with David Hemmings being forced to don the mustache, cape and under pants look that for some reason never caught on elsewhere. The colourful supporting cast also features legendary mime artist Marcel Marceau among others.
