Barbarella will be released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on November 28 via Arrow Video. Tula Lotay designed the new cover art for the 1968 science fiction cult classic; the original poster is on the reverse side.

The limited edition set comes with a booklet featuring new writing on the film by Anne Billson, Paul Gravett, Véronique Bergen, and Elizabeth Castaldo Lundén along with select archival material, a double-sided poster, and six double-sided postcards.

It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O’Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Jane Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law) to Durand’s lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg) and her minions throws her mission into jeopardy.
Pre-order Barbarella.

Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena enter the forest. The friendship of the women torn apart, the men rivals for Hermia's heart.
Puck opens their eyes to who they truly love.
Hermia and Helena leave the forest hand in hand, never to return to Athens again.

Viola began to think she had never loved Duke Orsino. Here was Olivia before her, begging for her embrace. Did she love only the mask that was Cesario or could Olivia love the soul that had given her life beyond the death of her brother?
"For you, only for you," Viola thought, "Viola could die to the world, and live as your Cesario."
