Barbarella is known for its psychedelic visual and musical aesthetic. Released in 1968, the same year as The Beatles’ self-titled magnum opus as well as the first records from The MC5 and Can, respectively, the film frequently employed an oil wheel projector, a common visual effect from the psychedelic music scene. It also featured music from pysch-pop group The Glitterhouse. Interestingly, Frank Zappa was in negotiations to compose the film’s score, although he ultimately ceded the job to Charles Fox.
