Independent British distributors Revolver Entertainment have revealed that they will release on Blu-ray Julia Leigh's Sleeping Beauty (2011), starring Emily Browning, Rachael Blake, Ewen Leslie, Peter Carroll, Chris Haywood, and Hugh Keays-Byrne. The film was nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or Award at this year's edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Street date is February 6th.
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.
