BARBARELLA
CABARET CINEMA: FACE OF THE FUTURE

FRIDAY, 6.22.18 
9:30 PM - 11:20 PM 

1968, USA, Roger Vadim, 98 min.

Introduced by artist Maia Cruz Palileo.

Satisfy your summer wanderlust for the cosmic, cool, and transgressive. Travel with Barbarella, a 41st-century astronaut played by a scantily clad Jane Fonda, as she seeks the renowned scientist Durand Durand on planet Lythion, where a new sin is invented every hour. Along the way Barbarella meets a lesbian queen who makes her fantasies come to life in her Chamber of Dreams and encounters the Excessive Machine, designed to drive its victims to death through physical pleasure.

"During her mission, Barbarella never finds herself in a situation where it isn't possible to lose at least part of her already minimal dressing."
