The Sleeping Beauty

France d/ Catherine Breillat

Another unusual interpretation of a classic children's story. Like her others this featured some wonderful locations, costumes and set design. It also had the same choppy feel to some of the editing.

As an exploration of adolescent sexuality it worked. As a fable...it was a little off. Overall the film was worth watching. Maybe she should seek out a new collaborator to help her bring a flow to these adaptations.
