Total legends Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon slip snugly and sexily into familiar crime thriller…

The world is in a mess and all of our superheroes have been snatched up by CIA-loving, copaganda-enabling global corporations. What are we to do? One option would be: turn to Barbarella! After all, while a gratuitous zero-gravity striptease performed by the legendary Jane Fonda may not halt the nuclear apocalypse or imminent ecological collapse,…

Courtesy of its very own in-house film collector -- and all-round gent -- Malcolm Demicoli, Kixott is proud to present a bona fide classic of the silent era... on FILM, as the gods (once) intended!
