| The Sleeping Beauty |
In this companion film program to the
Dreams Come True exhibition, we explore four of Charles Perrault's most celebrated fairy tales through the eyes of three significant French film directors: Jacques Demy, Olivier Dahan and Catherine Breillat.
Charles Perrault, born in Paris in 1628, is considered the founder of the fairy tale genre, bringing together disparate oral traditions and publishing these stories in his landmark book,
Stories or Tales of Past Times, with Morals in 1697.
Both delighting and terrifying readers of all ages, many of the themes included in these films suit older audiences and all are in the original French language with English subtitles.
Curated by James Nolen.
