Acclaimed director Jane Campion (The Piano) presents Julia Leigh's SLEEPING BEAUTY, a fascinating depiction of a young woman's reckless descent into a shocking world of erotic desires. Lucy (Emily Browning in a breakthrough performance) is a young university student whose sexual exploits are driven by whim and endured with an utter passivity. When she answers an ad in the student newspaper for a lingerie waitress, she is secretly initiated into the job of a Sleeping Beauty, for which she is sedated and given to her male clients in total sexual submission. As this unnerving experience begins to bleed into her daily life, Lucy develops the courage to break the spell and discover what happens to her while she sleeps. An official selection at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, SLEEPING BEAUTY "finds unusual detail in an outlandish scenario, operating on a daringly steady rhythm I found hypnotic."
