aka Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy.Barbarella, a 41st century government agent, is given the task of finding the missing scientist Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea), who is believed to be in Sogo, the city of night. There she finds danger, and the evil great tyrant, a lesbian queen (Anita Pallenberg). She manages to hook up with the resistance movement lead by Dildano (David Hemmings), rescues an Angel (John Philip Law) and finds real love.
Based on the popular French comic strip, this is definitely a hip and happening 60's version of our spacey future. Beautifully filmed, on enormous, exotic sets, this is a scatty, episodic and extremely silly adventure with actors from many nations giving some very quixotic performances. One you either go with and love or dismiss out of hand as all style and no substance, which is true, but I still cant help but like it!
