Behind the scenes with Jane Fonda on BARBARELLA (1968) playing this August 🪐🚀

💥 BARBARELLA testifies to a time in which a profound fascination with technological possibilities of the future had permeated mass culture. Based on Jean-Claude Forest’s racy comic serial, Roger Vadim’s film details the adventures of a beautiful, kinky “cosmic queen” in the distant future of the year 40,000. BARBARELLA’s camp, liberated s*xuality, and her penchant for flaunting her body in skimpy leotards, tight suits, and titillating plastic bodices is one reason the film has secured cult status.

💓✨ Playing as part of our Summer CAMP! series this August showcasing campy, over-the-top classics including AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY and SLEEPAWAY CAMP!

📣 “Fonda looks sensational and glides through this romp like a dazed, ripe-to-the- touch innocent.” -San Francisco Chronicle
