Movie Trailer for SLEEPING BEAUTY Starring Emily Browning as a prostitute

Trailer Movie Emily Browning Sleeping Beauty about 13 years agoby Joey Paur

This isn't your Disney fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, this is very much on the darker side of things. In this Julia Leigh directed film set to premiere at the 64th Cannes Film Festival, Emily Browning from Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch plays a high end prostitute. The trailer does contain some nudity so it's NSFW. From this trailer it looks like Leigh was heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick. It has that weird kind of feel and intensity.

Here's the synopsis:

Death-haunted, quietly reckless, Lucy is a young university student who takes a job as a Sleeping Beauty. In the Sleeping Beauty Chamber old men seek an erotic experience that requires Lucy’s absolute submission. This unsettling task starts to bleed into Lucy’s daily life and she develops an increasing need to know what happens to her when she is asleep.
