Irish Film Institute -COMPETITION: WIN THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY POSTER AND DVDS

COMPETITION: WIN THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY POSTER AND DVDS

The Duke of Burgundy, a seductive tale of mistress and servant, opens this Friday, February 20th and to celebrate its release, we’re offering an official film poster and Peter Strickland’s two previous films, Berberian Sound Studio and Katalin Varga on DVD, courtesy of our friends at Curzon Artificial Eye! 

In The Duke of Burgundy, we follow Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen, Borgen) as she punishes the errant behaviour of her maid Evelyn (Chiara D’Anna) in sexually humiliating ways, a situation soon revealed to be mere role-playing. In reality, the two are a loving and committed couple trying to reinvigorate their relationship in scenarios which are controlled to the last detail by Evelyn, though beginning to lose their appeal for Cynthia.

Imbued with a playful kinkiness, The Duke of Burgundy confirms Strickland’s singular skills as a filmmaker.

Tickets are now on sale. BOOK NOW!
