Barbarella

An outrageous blend of humour and erotic fantasy, focusing on a sexually emancipated space woman (the glorious Jane Fonda, of course) who vanquishes evil all around her, and rewards the handsome men who assist her.

The year is 40,000. After peaceful floating in zero-gravity, astronaut Barbarella lands on the frozen planet Lythion and sets out to find renowned scientist Durand Durand in the City of Night, Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. She encounters such objects as the Excessive Machine, a genuine sex organ on which an expert artist of the keyboard - in this case, Durand Durand himself - can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who can make her fantasies take form in her Chamber of Dreams, and a group of ladies smoking a giant hookah which dispenses Essence of Man through a poor victim struggling in its glass globe.

The special-effects crew constantly impresses!

Doors open 14.45pm (30 mins before the screening time) so you have a chance to grab a tipple at the bar before the show begins!
