لمحة عن هذا الفيلم

In an unnamed European town, in an unspecified year, live Cynthia and Evelyn. Every day Evelyn cycles to Cynthia’s mansion to work as a lowly maid – and every day the cruel, vindictive Cynthia inflicts countless sadistic humiliations upon her. But as the days go by and the pair begin to reveal themselves, it soon becomes clear that the humiliation may not all be of Cynthia’s design… Startling, stylish and heady with atmosphere, The Duke of Burgundy is a dazzling exploration of romance, relationships and desire from the multi-award winning director of Berberian Sound Studio. Laden with wit and brimming with filmic references, it is one of the most remarkable films of the year and will doubtless leave you reeling.

The plot read really well, but the story war nothing like what I had seen written in the plot. It is more like an arty soft lesbian porn film, not what I was expecting or signed up for.

Sidse Babbet Knudsen (Cynthia) and Chiana D'Anna (Evelyn) create a perfectly believable relationship dynamic together as Cynthia's role as (dom) and Evelyn's as (sub) displays their mutual trust and love. Please don't be expecting any kind of "Fifty Shades Of Grey" type sensationalism here, but if you do enjoy a more mature film with BDSM themes, then this beautifully made, sensual film of two women in love may be what you're looking for.

A story of dichotomies in a sado-masochistic relationship. An understated and reflective work with moments of real wit it remains absorbing and engaging throughout. What happens when a dominant meets a control freak submissive? Watch and find out.
