The much lauded and often controversial auteur, Catherine Breillat (Bluebeard), splinters and reconstructs another fairy tale with her latest exploration into female mythologies.

An assemblage of two famed fairy-tales, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen and Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty, The Sleeping Beauty follows a young woman’s adventure through 100 years of bewildering dreams and her awakening into a perplexing and unexpected reality.

With references to everything from Alice in Wonderland to the Last Czar of Russia, and with bold, imaginative costumes and breathtaking imagery from cinematographer Denis Lenoir, Catherine Breillat’s latest offering reaffirms her status as one of the most intriguing filmmakers working today.
