Sidse Babett Knudsen (TV’s Borgen) leads this erotic drama from the director of Berberian Sound Studio as a woman with a keen interest in moths, butterflies, and testing the sexual limits of her lover.
"Much like the rare caterpillar-butterfly of its title, Peter Strickland shifts The Duke of Burgundy from a classic melodrama into a perverse, lesbian, sadomasochistic experience, and all done with an artist’s eye for mood and detail. Both the gothic scenery and haunting score envelop the senses and manipulate the viewer into a feeling of frenzy. Elevated by powerful and sensual performances by the two female leads, Strickland’s strange film achieves a unique beauty and profundity that rests between David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. and Luis Buñuel’s Belle De Jour." (Hamptons International Film Festival)
