If only this could play the music...
Zany, cooky, and campy to the extreme, with some dialogue to be cherished (“What’s that screaming? A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.”) and extra-special effects (see above), Jane Fonda’s uncanny facial (and facial only) resemblance to her father makes Barbarella even stranger than it already would have been, missing only cameo appearances from Adam West and Burt Ward to make this slightly erotic and completely fantastic space oddity a celebratory tour-de-force (as they say) of Euro-American genre-bending deconstructive ingenuity.
