Jane Fonda as Barbarella in Roger Vadim's new film — a treatment of the now celebrated strip cartoon.

 

 

 

Barbarella

 

  ROGER VADIM’S “BARBARELLA” is now well under way with Jane Fonda as the heroine of the year 40,000. "The reason why other strip cartoon characters are not very credible,” says Jane Fonda, "is because they cannot be taken seriously. Barbarella is credible — she has a sense of humour and irony not usually found in characters of pure fantasy. She has also a strong sensual appeal but it's not necessary to accentuate the vamp character.”

  With Jane Fonda in this space adventure are Anita Pallenberg as the Black Queen, a sensual and sinister figure who persecutes Barbarella in the city of Sago.

   John Phillip Law (seen in "The Russians are Coming” and who has just finished "Diabolik”) plays Pygar, Barbarella’s guardian angel who saves her from mortal perils with the aid of enormous wings.

  Ugo Tognazzi is Mark Hand who saves our heroine from many a difficult predicament. As a gesture of appreciation Barbarella instructs him in the art of love — terrestrial style, of course.

 

   Milo O'Shea moves from Dublin to outer-space as the terrible custodian of the kingdom of Sago.

   Antonio Sabato (young Sicilian player seen in Grand Prix) is a romantic revolutionary chief working with Barbarella.

   Romolo Valli, noted Italian stage actor, is the President of the Earth who orders Barbarella on her special mission — to find a scientist, missing from Earth with the secret of a new ray, a terrible means for destruction.

 

Jane Fonda

 

 

   Roger Vadim, who defines Barbarella as a kind of futuristic Alice in Wonderland or a magic Mary Poppins, is not concerned with what he calls “the traps of special effects”. “In science fiction cinema the special effects minimize the importance of the characters or simply conventionalize them. I am preoccupied above ail with the characters and their identification with the public. Certainly the decors will be strange and rich with colour but they will always be within the context of the drama.”

   Claude Renoir is in charge of the camera; Mario Garbuglia has designed some futuristic sets in the De Laurentiis. Via Pontina studio (including an ice lake 500 ft by 50 ft which 380 arc lamps turn into a wonderful interplanetary horizon): Jacques Fonteray has created the space suits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roger Vadim gives his two stars, Jane Fonda and Ugo Tognazzi some spatial advice for a scene from his new film, “Barbarella”.
