Barbarella


The scenes during the opening credits where Barbarella seems to float around her spaceship were filmed by having Jane Fonda lie on a huge piece of plexiglas with a picture of the spaceship underneath her. It was then filmed from above, creating the illusion that she is in zero gravity. (If you look carefully, you can see the reflection in the glass as she removes her gloves.)
SoGo, the evil city Barberella travels to, is a reference to Biblical cities Sodom and Gomorra.
Barbarella's costume was made by designer Paco Rabanne
