Fondavision: Barbarella (1968) We Really Like Her!
-
- TV & Film
This week on another instalment of WRLH's Fondavision miniseries, Emily and Danita take a trip across multiple universes as they thrust themselves into the warped world of space-set sex bomb Barbarella (1968). Is it fair to call this orgasm machine of a film "feminist" when we know how damaging it was to Jane Fonda's personal and professional trajectory? Was Jane really drunk while shooting the opening striptease? Where does one procure a pink spaceship? And is it possible to enjoy this absolute trip of a movie without getting stoned out of your mind first?
