Barbarella recaptures the spirit of the early comic strips, marked by the audacity and originality, the same mixture of fantasy, humour, beauty, and horror, cruelty and eroticism that made comic books such a favourite. The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella makes a forced landing while travelling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots and monsters. She also rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure. Whether she is wrestling with Black Guards, the evil Queen, or the Angel Pygar, she can’t seem to avoid losing at least part of her skin-tight space suit.
