In Strickland's mesmerizing and critically acclaimed THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY, the intimate relationship between Cynthia, a lepidopterist, and her submissive lover Evelyn unfolds against the sumptuous backdrop of a decaying European estate. As the two women navigate the extremes of carnal desire and Strickland deftly blurs the boundary between reality and role-playing, Evelyn's insatiable appetite for punishment pushes the relationship to its limits. Enveloped in a gauzy, Gothic atmosphere, and complemented by a lush pop score from Cat’s Eyes, this darkly comic erotic fantasia, with a singular focus on female sexuality, is a seductive feast for the senses.
