La belle endormie

The princess Anastasia is cursed by the witch Carabosse (Rosine Favey) to die but three teenage fairies change it and the girl falls into a deep sleep for one hundred years to wake-up as a sixteen year-old teenager.

Along her dream, Anastasia (Carla Besnaïnou) takes a ghost train and is adopted by a woman that lives in the woods with her son Peter (Kérian Mayan) that becomes her stepbrother. Soon Peter is seduced by the Snow Queen (Romane Portail) and leaves home with her.

Anastasia seeks him out and travels through the kingdom of albino King and Queen that offer her a stagecoach to help her to travel. However Anastasia is attacked by gypsy bandits that kidnap her, but she befriends a gypsy girl that offers a magic animal to ride in her quest. Out of the blue, the sixteen year-old Anastasia (Julia Artamonov) is awaken by Peter's grandson Johan (David Chausse).

"La belle endormie", a.k.a. "Sleeping Beauty" by French director Catherine Breillat, is a boring movie with a messy screenplay in an eerie adult view of the classic fairytale.

"The Sleeping Beauty" is a classic fairytale originally written by the French Charles Perrault and later by the German Brothers Grimm that was immortalized by the animated version by Walt Disney. This television version by Catherine Breillat is another obscure and forgettable modern retelling of the fairytale. My vote is three.
