Barbarella (1968)
Nowadays, thanks to the wonders of technology, if you want
to see Jane Fonda's tits you can just do a quick Google search.
Unfortunately for folk back in the 60s, it meant having to sit through
absolute garbage like Barbarella.
I've tried hard to find some merit in this low budget, camp as hell
sci-fi romp. Truly, I have. Sure, its better than OG Star Trek, and
watching Barbarella sleep her way across the galaxy to save the universe
does have some sort of barbaric charm, but for the most part the plot is
wafer thin and the pacing is glacial. The COVID 19 lockdown allows me to
take some sort of pleasure in drinking all my whisky reserves and
plowing through dreck like this, so I managed to make it to the end in
the name of either perseverance or boredom.
Fun fact: the band Duran Duran got their name from the character Durand
Durand in this movie. You learn something every day! - 17/05/2020
