Barbarella [Blu-ray]

Director: Roger Vadim Roger Vadim

Overview

Once viewers get beyond that notorious opening striptease, Roger Vadim's Barbarella veers more towards campy comedy than sexual stimulation. Jane Fonda, then Vadim's wife, plays the scantily clad futuristic comic-strip heroine created by Jean-Claude Forest. Aligning herself with counterrevolutionary Dildano (David Hemmings), Barbarella is subjected to all manner of Krafft-Ebbing perils. She is rescued from more than one scrape by a blind angel (John Philip Law), who is himself brutalized by the kinky Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg). Milo O'Shea is listed in the credits as "The Concierge," but he is identified in the film as Duran Duran -- and yes, the rock group of the 1980s was named after him, rather than the other way around. And let's not forget Professor Ping, played -- with dialogue -- by Marcel Marceau.
