Director Peter Strickland scores another unnervingly stylish arthouse hit with THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY, his follow up to the eerily sound homage to retro horror, BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO (2012). At its core, THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY is a spellbinding, calculating work of tense eroticism that explores the unusually intimate relationship between two women, the wealthy amateur lepidopterist Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen, of Danish television drama BORGEN) and her new housekeeper, Evelyn (BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIOS’sChiara D’Anna). Fetishism, sado-masochism, dominance and submission are explored in this sensual, smart, and deceptively understated yet highly erotic tale.
