Barbarella
Barbarella (1968)
Director: Roger Vadim
Cast: Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg
In 1968, an amazingly attractive Jane Fonda appeared on screens in a movie that will advance much of his time. Barbarella is the adaptation of Roger Vadim and Dino Laurentiis of a French comic strip in which a "naive" land agent comes to a distant world in search of archivillano Duran Duran. What this innocent girl will find in this world you will reconsider the personal relationship that exist on their planet of origin. On Earth, it has now been aseptizado and people no longer practiced love but uses pills that supply the carnal relationship.
This innocent little girl suddenly crashes on a planet in which a thirty-minute film has already been changed clothes four times, has passed out two, and has practiced the old way of making love with two strangers (the poor amateur badly). Throughout the tape should be changed many times over attire, each one more brief and attractive, must practice these traditions forgotten with very disparate beings (including an angel and a machine) and will be forced to perform acts for quite impure their mentality, although gladly accepts.
The film is very entertaining and it is strange that in those years were allowed to Jane Fonda luciera their bare breasts, thongs, generous necklines and postures as procaces on the big screen. I suppose that this would be one of the movies that the Spaniards would go to France to see bypass the censorship of Franco.
The production is typical of Dino Laurentiis of Hollywood, really bad color combinations, garish costumes and tight, carpeting (Carpet lot), desolate places that are impossible and vessels populate the screens of cinema of the 70s and 80s and that will never escape Italian cinema. "Flash Gordon" and "Dune" will suffer the shortages of imaginative Don Dino and marked generations innocent.
Highlight of the movie presences of a beautiful Anita Pallenberg doing bad (arrrrrggggg) and the famous mime Marcel Marceau in a role too chatty and that misses Earth by a myth.
By 2005 it is expected a remake in which Drew Barrimore will be the protagonist.
