I just watched a really interesting Australian film called Sleeping Beauty. I had seen stills from it on many tumblrs but not really known anything about it. *Spoiler * The film revolves around a university student, Lucy, who takes a strange job as a 'lingerie waitress' in this mansion, and quickly moves on to a position where she is voluntarily drugged and put to bed, where various ageing men do what they want with her. The plot sounds kind of gross, but it was totally mesmirising and Emily Browning, who played Lucy, was coldy captivating. Watching it felt a bit voyeuristic, which was heightened by the minimalism of the direction, the long single shots and sparse soundtrack. It was intense and beautiful and haunting and you should definately watch it.
On a lighter note, I bought some stickers with cats on them yesterday. Yay!
