Review of Barbarella (1968) by Brian Gibson for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) — 27 Dec 2013
A Flash Gordon-meets-Oz kitsch-fest stripping women's sexual revolution down to voyeuristic spectacle, flimsily dressed in cheap, see-through, psychedelic B-movie garb. Vadim imbues most scenes with a faux-arty lethargy that slumps into stiltedness.
