Before you know anything, know this: Peter Strickland's The Duke of Burgundy is a masterpiece, a beautiful bold homage to 70's erotica with all the mystery and borderline surrealism of his Kaitlin Varga and Berberian Sound Studio.
Shot in a crumbling mansion in rural Hungary with an entirely female cast, this sumptuous period piece is a dark, erotically charged drama about the relationship between two women. The insular world in which they exist provides the perfect hothouse atmosphere for the dreamlike narrative. Beautifully performed and lushly shot, The Duke of Burgundy is a bold, intoxicating exploration of power dynamics and intimacy.
