“An angel has no memory,” remarks Pygar at the end of “Barbarella” (1968). Sweet Jehoshaphat, would that I could say the same!

Roger Vadim’s sci-fi sex fantasy manages to distill everything that was horrible about the ’60s into an excruciating 98-minutes: shag-carpeted spaceships, lava lamp special effects, Rolling Stones “It Girl” Anita Pallenberg, trippy music performed by the Bob Crewe Generation Orchestra, and a Bardot-bouffanted Jane Fonda in kinky fetish boots (if little else). I have to hand it to Fonda. She’s certainly game.

Join us, if you dare, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, for a con-heavy conversation worthy of Marcel Marceau. I’ll be struggling against an acid flashback, as we livestream on Facebook. Leave your comments on this cult “classic,” this Friday evening at 7:00 EST.
