Sleeping
Beauty [2011]
Lucy (Emily
Browning) is a young university student possessed by a kind of radical
passivity. She lets a flip of a coin decide the outcome of a random sexual
encounter and she displays an uncomplaining patience when facing the
repetitions of her various menial jobs that fund her studies. One day she
answers an ad in the student newspaper and interviews for a job to be a
lingerie waitress. But she is secretly being initiated into a world of strange
new work; one where she will have to give into absolute submission
to her clients by being sedated; becoming a Sleeping Beauty. Eventually this
unnerving experience begins to bleed into her daily life and she finally
develops the will to break the spell by discovering what happens to her while
she sleeps.
