Saw film yesterday (2002) on TV, after seeing on cinema "Attack of the clones". Barbarella a 34 years old film is so bad made that's really funny (just the opposite to Lucas one. Too well made that's boring). All special effects are hand made, one can see the background screen used on some scenes (i.e. when the angel flights), the gravitation effect at the beginning is filmed over a glass (reflection can be seen easily), the starship is made in "porexpan" and paper. If you like serious sci-fic films (i.e. Blade Runner) just forget about Barbarella, but if you want to laugh and enjoy for the standard 94 minutes, just rent the film and open your mind. Sexuality is a main key part of the film. Some images are quite surprising for a 1968 film, even for today (see when some women are smoking "man scent"). Highly funny is also see the sex machine playing against Barbarella (guess who wins...)
