Filmmaker Catherine Breillat, who brought us the brilliant but disturbing Fat Girl (2001), scores again with her deconstruction of the classic fairytale. But this ain’t no Disney film. Anastasia is cursed to a 100-year slumber. Her fanciful dreams, in which she meets dwarves, gypsies, and other magical creatures, reveal that “happily ever after” may or may not include a Prince Charming. 2010. French with English subtitles. November 8. Strand Releasing (strandreleasing.com). — by Nancy Ford
