Sleeping Beauty (2011)
Sleeping Beauty (2011) is a dark, artistic reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale. Directed by Julia Leigh, the film stars Emily Browning as Lucy, a young woman who takes on a controversial job where she is drugged and used in a mysterious, erotic sleep state for the pleasure of wealthy men. As Lucy descends deeper into this unsettling world, the film explores themes of vulnerability, control, and the commodification of the female body. With minimal dialogue and a haunting visual style, Sleeping Beauty is an atmospheric and provocative examination of power dynamics and self-destruction.
