A horrible, bad movie,
The many beeps and beeps must certainly suggest that we were somewhere far away from Earth, in space. My god, how my irritation increased when hearing this poor and amateurish solution, to let us stay in space.
Michel Gondry proved that fake sets need not be an obstacle for a successful film with his creative and playful The Science of Slept. The sets here are not only fake, but also often ugly and they lack a certain power of surprise and are also brought together without inspiration and aspiration.
Only the entire water scenery towards the end of the film was somewhat inspirational, the rest of the colors seemed to pass by by chance. The director's neighbor had just happened to put a purple sofa in her garbage bag, which the gentleman could have bought as a set piece. Such an uninspired level is pursued in almost the entire film.
The story is obviously too ridiculous for words, just as the characters turn out to be painfully unfunny, only our: hello, pretty, pretty - madam... had a short successful dialogue with Barbarella. The film never manages to amuse because it suffers from action - anemia and an adventure or science fiction feeling, the film never manages to aspire to thanks to the uninspired, dull sets and set pieces.
Only the intro of the film is still nice, but after that I got really annoyed and bored. An absolute monstrosity of a movie! 1*

Been on blu-ray for years and now finally watched it! Quite an entertaining cult film that especially managed to keep my attention because of the beautiful Jane "Pretty Pretty" Fonda. I found the tinkering sets to give a nice atmosphere, for the rest of course the film has little to say but in the case of Jane Fonda you will certainly not hear me complaining about that!
I can give 3 stars to this.

Used to be quite often seen on TV, I may have been 12 or 15 I think. Then I didn't like it - I didn't mind the exaggerated hippie stuff of the 70s, and then this film as a kind of distorting mirror really didn't appeal to me at all.
Now it is. What an ingeniously fine film, all with great madness with one completely absurd situation after another, and the delightful Fonda who, in one silly outfit after another, manages to wriggle lasciviously out of every plight. And really the only thing that seems a bit dated to me is her 70s big-hair haircut.
The film was, of course, way ahead of its time. That is also quite clever, a parody of the 70s while the film was already from 1968. Woodstock wasn't until a year later, for example.
