98 mins
2013
BBFC 15

Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples, whether they were made with us in mind or not.

In the year 40,000, space adventurer Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is tasked by Earth's president with retrieving a scientist named Durand Durand to stop his doomsday weapon. Crashing on the planet Lythion, she navigates bizarre landscapes, encountering unusual villains and using love as a tool to vanquish evil and save the universe.

One Letterboxd reviewer says: 'Never has straight sex been so gay'
