The film:

A fascinating version of the Sleeping beauty fairy tale. The time is a spider web on the screen, the wood is crowded with cardboard cutouts and in the castle everyone is sleeping. But the magic of the film is all in the application of the pochoir colors. 

 

The film restoration:

In 2011, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino and the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna conducted digital restoration of this film, from a nitrate copy conserved at the Museum.

The restoration was carried out at the laboratory L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna.

The film had already undergone photochemical preservation in 2007.
