In a recent interview, Emily talked about Sleeping Beauty, Twilight and her thoughts on Sleeping Beauty. Below is a excerpt with a link to read the entire article.

Sleeping Beauty was an early must-see at the film festival, where it was one of just 20 films chosen to compete for the Palme d’Or. Leigh, an established novelist but first-time filmmaker, tells the story of Lucy, a Sydney student who finds a seductively lucrative job as a silver-service waitress at a plush country-house bordello.
The young women who work there serve food dressed in fetish underwear, then spend the port-and-cigars slot draped over their ageing but lustily aspiring patrons.

It’s all about the money, of course: $250 an hour, with a possibility of promotion.

“There is about 18 minutes in the Blu-ray that is mostly action, because the MPAA was not … [there was] a little too much action,” he said, adding that taking the film from an R-rating to PG-13 was also a challenge.

“I would say that the very things that they [the MPAA] didn’t like were the very things that you needed to see in order for you to understand the content of the scene,” he said. “To know how to feel about it, because otherwise you’re sort of left in this weird middle ground,” he said. “So it’s difficult. It’s tricky.”
