Sleeping Beauty

Thrillingly original. By turns exquisite and down-to-earth.

— Karen Durbin, Elle

Gorgeous, opaque and disturbing in roughly equal portions... A riveting experience all the way through.

Jane Campion presents SLEEPING BEAUTY, the bold and provocative directorial debut of Julia Leigh, an official selection of the Cannes, Toronto and Chicago film festivals. Featuring a phenomenal breakthrough performance by Emily Browning, this coolly shocking retelling of the classic myth poses its heroine as a rarified sex-worker, confronting ideas of feminine sexuality with bravado and precision.
