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. Haunting and provocative, Julia Leigh's powerful vision is one of the most startling debut features of recent years.

Bande annonce
In the Sleeping Beauty Chamber, old men seek an erotic experience that requires Lucy's absolute submission, a task that leads Lucy down a dangerous path.-
Directed with eye-catching assurance for a first-timer, this is a conspicuously quiet, still film, with scant dialogue and functional, concise exchanges.
Total Film -
A strange marriage of Jane Campion and Lars Von Trier that titillates, terrifies and haunts in equal measure.
Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph -
Jane Campion-approved Australian novelist and screenwriter Julia Leigh makes a very natural transition into the director’s chair with this languid, inquisitive and visually meticulous debut feature about erotic desire, voyeurism, the ravages of age and the commodification of flesh.
David Jenkins, TimeOut London
