The Sleeping Beauty

The Sleeping Beauty (2020)

It’s almost a habit. I take a story from Perrault that I love so, I put it in the blender of my dreams, and flies the stage to the lands of childhood, the ones I prefer, as well as to adulthood, also in me, to be honest. From "The Sleeping Beauty" there remains a lot, the wood, the spindle, the 100-year sleep, the fairies, good ones and evil ones, and obviously a prince who moves. But also the cauldron filled with snakes, and the very evil ogress. To be clear the title often makes us forget that the kiss that wakes from the magical sleep is but only the start of the tale. The worst, the very worst, is to come, since the Queen, mother of Prince Charming, is nothing less than an ogress who dreams only to devour everyone, but firstly her daughter-in-law and grandkids, which, evidently, is only seen in stories, she dreams only to take her son as husband to create little ogres. Long story short, a very nice momma. She'll end up in her cauldron, like in the story…
