Barbarella
“See Barbarella do her thing!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Jane Fonda explores a brightly upholstered universe where every problem seems to involve sex, strange technology or both. Her wide-eyed composure and the decorative absurdity make this deliberate space-age fantasy more inviting than its wandering mission. The future has excellent furnishings and highly questionable priorities.
