Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original Barbarella vintage movie posters, where we offer a wide range of artwork for one of cinema's ultimate science-fiction films. Jane Fonda was at the time married to Vadim, and was reluctant to take the role at first. She had just weathered multiple sex scandals that would be today considered tame: Photographs were taken of her in stages of undress, including one that made its way onto a billboard to promote an earlier film. Ultimately, she accepted the role of Barbarella as a sexually liberated woman — not rebelling against any prudish standards, but having never known such standards at all.Morgan, Spencer (16 October 2007).

Having bought the film rights to Jean-Claude Forest's Barbarella comics, producer Dino De Laurentiis secured a distribution deal in the United States between France's Marianne Productions and Paramount Pictures. He planned to film Danger: Diabolik, a less-expensive feature, to help cover production costs. [12] In 1966 Roger Vadim expressed admiration for comics (particularly Charles Schulz's Peanuts), saying that he liked "the wild humor and impossible exaggeration of comic strips" and wanted to "do something in that style myself in my next film, Barbarella." [13] Vadim saw the film as a chance to "depict a new futuristic morality ... Barbarella has [no] guilt about her body. I want to make something beautiful out of eroticism." [14] His wife, actress Jane Fonda, noted that Vadim was a fan of science fiction; according to the director, "In science fiction, technology is everything ... The characters are so boring—they have no psychology. I want to do this film as though I had arrived on a strange planet with my camera directly on my shoulder—as though I was a reporter doing a newsreel." [4]Dillard, Brian J. "Barbarella". AllMovie.

The film was very popular in the United Kingdom, where it was the year's second-highest-grossing film. Contemporary film critics praised Barbarella's cinematography and visuals but found its storyline weak in its first few scenes. Taylor, Andy (2008). Wild Boy: My Life in Duran Duran.

Archived from the original on 6 February 2018 . Retrieved 5 February 2018. This is an original one sheet movie poster from 1968 for Barbarella starring Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Marcel Marceau, David Hemmings, Anita Pallenberg, and Milo O'Shea. Roger Vadim directed the science fiction thriller. Robert McGinnis is the artist for the poster.Vadim said that he was interested in making a science fiction movie that gave depth to the characters — a noble goal, though difficult to discern in the finished product, where characters seem drawn with all the complexity of a child’s crayon sketch. His mission, he said, as to shoot the movie like he was a documentary journalist.
