The Duke of Burgundy
(2014)
Directed by Peter
Strickland this film stars Sidse Babett Knudsen and Chiara D'Anna. A
woman works for her lover as a maid in a BDSM relationship but not
all is as it seems.
I found this film to
be a pretty interesting twist on the relationship dynamic you would
expect and the film does a good job of slowly peeling back the layers
to reveal more about it's central characters. My only quibble would
be with the dream sequence which while reminiscent of Mothlight
(1963) seems out of place and a little unintelligible. The
cinematography is also really good making use of reflections and the
locations well.
4/5
