Sleeping Beauty



Three *


It's a very unchatty performance but fueled with body language.

Language, not movement. So don't start thinking porn.


Undoubtedly, Emily Browning's beauty is beguiling. The colours work well on her sensuous body, pale and ginger never looked so good on a petite frame.


The ending was not as fantastic as the lead up to the end but I have to say it's not entirely disasterous. Because I was in a good mood that afternoon, I welcomed the a-typical, un-hollywood sterotypical close prevalent in most indie movies.


So its pretty simple really.

Struggling uni student Lucy needs cash.

Found a job as a Sleeping Beauty.

Drinks a cup of tea, falls asleep in Clara's hidden mansion.

Men invited to explore their desires with Lucy.

Strictly no penetration.

Lucy wakes up. Job completed. Gets paid.

Got pretty good at it. Need more $. Did several jobs.

Lucy's curiousity consumes her. Wants to know what happens when she sleeps.

When she eventually finds out, it's not good.

The old fart died beside her.

The recorded play back was very passive. Just a sleeping, dying, naked man.

Shame.

Lucy never got to know how unpassive the previous jobs were.


OK. I'm no story teller. But that's my best account.
