Sleeping Beauty

When a strange, fair-haired, Australian university student (Emily Browning), who lives with two roommates (Sarah Snook and Robin Goldsworthy), decides she needs extra money to supplement her part-time jobs as a waitress, a hooker, and an office worker in this exceedingly odd, quirky, "art house" film, which is based on Yasunari Kawabata's The House of Sleeping Beauties and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Memories of My Melancholy Whores novellas, she accepts a lucrative, per-hour job from a madam (Rachel Blake) and her assistant (Eden Falk) in which she is put into a drug-induced sleep while unusual, elderly clients (Peter Carroll, Chris Haywood, and Hugh Keays-Byrne) act out their desires without sexual penetration.
