Plot : Sleeping Beauty is an Australian movie that treats the subject of prostitution in a very different way. Presenting nudity as an art, it brings to you the story of Lucy, who happens to be a young and fierce student. Emily Browning plays the role and does it with style and grace, so much so, that her performances can be considered among the very best that there have ever been. Lucy is shown working part time to fulfill her money requirements. She volunteers for medical experiments and also goes for occasional prostitution. Prostitution leads her to a ‘niche sex industry.’ The concept of this industry is that old, tuxedo donning gentlemen, pay young women to wait for them in their beds almost naked and in a drugged state. The deal is that these elderly people can do whatever they wish to with these women except for going for that customary orgasm. When you watch Sleeping Beauty online, you see that Lucy does not do all of it due to sheer lack of monetary resources, she is on a self punishment sort of a thing, where her troubled past plays the main reason behind her actions. Author Julia Leigh turns director with this movie, which makes for a pretty fine debut. This movie sends some pretty strong signals to the women in the sex industry. It is a movie that can be seen with an open mind as it is a project, which is open to interpretations. How this movie turns out for you depends on how you take it. Its emotional seriousness is what can be labeled as the base on which it stands. A powerful movie made with fine skill and backed by remarkable performances. Watch it for its bold yet different approach to the subject of prostitution.
