Barbarella
Paris: Magnum, Circa 1967. Vintage borderless double weight reference photograph of Jane Fonda from the 1968 film, with a "David Hurn-magnum" photographer's stamp on the verso.
Based on the adult comic book by Jean-Claude Forest, published in the French magazine "V" in 1962 and 1964. Likely the campiest space-opera sex comedy in film history. Though not popular upon its release, it was re-released to greater acclaim in 1977, and has since influenced countless fashion designers, films, and musicians, including Duran Duran, whose name is a play on that of the main villain.
Set in outer space and shot in Rome.
10.5 x 8.25 inches. Near Fine.
Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art.
