The Sleeping Beauty (2010)

The classic fairy tale gets the sexy treatment you’d expect from A Real Young Girl director Catherine Breillat in The Sleeping Beauty (2010). In this French TV version of the legend, Anastasia (Julia Artamonov) is a princess afflicted with a powerful curse. When she was born, an evil witch decreed that she’d die at an early age; three good witches tried to reverse the curse, but the best they could do is cause her to fall asleep at age six, only to awaken a hundred years later at the physical age of sixteen. When Anastasia finally awakens, she has steamy affairs with both a gypsy girl (Rhizlaine El Cohen) and young nobleman Johan (David Chausse). There’s heady erotic atmosphere to spare in this flick, beginning with two uncredited actresses who their bare breasts through their wet clothes 1 minute in. Star Julia Artamonov then gives us a lingering look at her love muffins lying in bed with her lady love 1 hour, 9 minutes in, and again with her guy 1 hour, 15 minutes in. That’ll give you some sweet, sweet dreams!
