Barbarella – 1968
Barbarella is a 1968 science fiction film based on the French Barbarella comics created by Jean-Claude Forest. The film was directed by Roger Vadim and stars Jane Fonda, who was Vadim’s wife at the time.
In the 40th century, Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is assigned by the President of Earth (Claude Dauphin) to retrieve Doctor Durand-Durand (Milo O’Shea) from the planet Tau Ceti in order to save the Earth. On her quest, Barbarella is seduced by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi), who introduces her to penetrative intercourse, something she is unaware of, since civilized people of Barbarella’s society find their sexual release through pharmaceuticals.
In turn, she seduces an angel named Pygar (John Phillip Law). She visits SoGo, a decadent city ruled over by the Great Tyrant, and powered by a liquid essence of evil called the Mathmos. She is captured, and overloads a torture device called the Excessive (or “Ex-sex-sive”) Machine, which kills through sexual pleasure.
