The Duke of Burgundy

2015 • 104 minutes

À propos de ce film

Day after day, Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and Evelyn (Chiara D'Anna) act out a simple yet provocative ritual that ends with Evelyn's punishment and pleasure. As Cynthia yearns for a more conventional relationship, Evelyn's obsession with erotic spells quickly becomes an addiction that may push the relationship to a breaking point.

Dripping with eroticism and dread, The Duke of Burgundy is a darkly decadent melodrama from Peter Strickland, the award winning writer and director of Berberian Sound Studio and Katalin Varga.

Notes et avis

Beautifully made up and costumed actresses, in an equally beautifully filmed erotic romance.........very engaging and tastefully done

Great atmosphere. The R18 rating is somewhat excessive.
