Description
BARBARELLA. Paramount Pictures, 1968
Oversized linen backed poster, 40 x 60 in (101.6 x 152.4 cm)⭕.
“SEE BARBARELLA DO HER THING!” invites this campy oversized poster for the 1968 cult classic sci-fi comedy Barbarella starring Jane Fonda. Devoid of an♑y other text and only eight inches shorter than the actress herself, the present lot superimposes an almost liꦬfe-sized Fonda against a swirling background of orange and pink.
The present lot celebrates one of the most discussed elements of Roger Vadim’s adaptation of Jean-Claude Forest’s Barbarella comics, the now-iconic costumes by Jacques Fonteray. The green mini-dress with ceramic chips at the neck, waist, and sides plus matching boots Fonda’s Barbarella is depicted in here is one of the film’s most iconic—the final look of the entire film. Fonteray’s source material for Barbarella’s space-travelling wardrobe ♚was highly mixed, with the costume designer 🌄incorporating original imagery from Forest’s comics, the fashion designer Paco Rabanne, traditional samurai armor, and medieval European aesthetics.
Barbarella was the second highest grossing film of 1968 in the U.K. and remains a cuܫlt classic in𓃲 the American science fiction canon.
