Barbarella - Queen of the Galaxy - Paramount Originals (includes Limited Edition reproduction film poster) [DVD]

A wonderful sexy sci-fi comedy film

Classic Science-fiction.....Never bettered

This review is for the Paramount BLU RAY released 2016. The film was shot in Panavision, so we get a widescreen transfer with bars top and bottom, excellent colour, clear picture and sound, with optional English Subtitles. I haven't seen the film for many years and I had forgotten how much (tasteful) nudity/semi nudity, and sexy costumes we get from Ms. Fonda. She is at her sexy peak and truly carries the film. Oddly enough, there is no actual sex! If memory serves she doesn't even kiss anyone. What added to my viewing pleasure were the spectacular sets and costumes, and the performences of David Hemmings as a very clumsy rebel leader, and Anita Pallenberg as the black queen (two points of interest 1) She doesn't get a mention in the credits on the reverse sleeve, yet gets 3rd billing on the film credits (I think it's third). 2) she is dubbed by Joan Greenwood of all people, who sounds a bit like Fenella Fielding - Confusing.). Also something else puzzled me - Veronique Vendel, an actress not unknown, gets a good billing, but I don't remember her at all - I looked IMDP and she played a "Captain Sun". Perhaps her part was edited out? Has the film dated, and did I enjoy it? Yes, and Yes. It's still fun thanks to Jane and the cast and the extraordinary colour/sets. Recomended, perhaps more so to those who do remember it from their youthful past.

value for money - but not had the chance to use/view so cannot review this item

I saw this in the local cinema when it came out and still worth watching.

I think I last watched this film in the late 1970s / early 80s. At that time I remember I found it stupidly humorous and I think harmlessly sexy. Watching it in 2020 during lockdown I just couldn't remember it been so cheap and tacky. I still think it is harmless entertainment but is really badly made and has no quality factors to recommend it - Even Fonda anHemmings need to ham it up to not look out of place. Yet, watchable as a 60s period trash.

This is one of Jane Fonda's early films, based on a comic book and best seller, by Jean Claude Forest.In this Dino De Laurentis production Jane Fonda is Barbarella in the year 40.000, a girl that things just happen to in her role as a Peace keeping agent, spreading love throughout the Universe.The colours are beautifully enhanced giving lush comic book appeal, as she tries sex the 'old fahioned' way with a child catcher in a sailboat which travells on ice, and gives a blind Angel, Pygar, the will to fly again in a similar fashion in a large nest. Back on earth love is made by taking a pill and by telepathy whilst touching hands, David Hemmings as a bumbling underground leader Dildano has been waiting to try this 'civilised' method for years, with hillarious results.Anita Pallenberg is the husky voiced evil Queen who rules by controlling the 'Matmos' a sea of evil larva which constantly flows under the city of corruption. Scantily dressed like her 'pretty pretty' Barbarella, she vies for the love of Pygar.Milo Oshea plays Duran Duran, a mad renegade scientist, the object of Barberella's visit, to return him to Earth. Before destroying himself and the planet with his laser type armoury, he tortures Barbarella in a machine of sensual eccess, which she finds "kind of nice!"Now known as a serious activist, and with some serious, as well as tongue in cheek films to her name, Jane Fonda plays this with glorious convincing innocence, and that captivating voice which makes this an unmissable classic.

Imagine a carry on movie made in space with more smut. That's Barbarella.Shame this has not yet been remastered with extras and a 4k scan. We live in hope.
