This is undoubtedly the case of "The Duke of Burgundy". Probably the most unusual work on the billboard this summer. Its director, Peter Strickland, Is considered one of the terrible children of the new British cinema. In his third film, Continues betting decidedly by a turbid look, Of asphyxiating atmospheres, With a sound universe, hypnotic, And an interesting mix of cinematic reminiscences. That yes, all this passed by an original and provocative filter. "The duke of Burgundy" tells the story of a couple of women Which explores a particular formula to keep passion alive In front of the monotony of coexistence. Although his story does not seem to portray The life of a conventional bourgeois marriage, In the background, lovers must face The same eternal questions of any couple. How to survive the routine, What to do when the ghost of jealousy walks through the door. If in "The servant", Joseph Losey used a professional relationship of power To analyze how desire was capable of subverting it, Here it happens in reverse. It is desire that establishes fiction Of loving-maid relations. Nothing to see, neither formally nor thematically, With recent films of lesbian relationships. Perhaps aromas could be found Of "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant", But probably the most direct sources Of which he drinks "The duke of Burgundy" Sean Buñuel, Walerian Borowczyk, Jesús Franco Or the erotic cinema of the 70s. (Music) Actually, the staging created by Peter Strickland, Is sufficient by itself. If anything highlights your film, Is in the creation of particular universes Spatially and temporally displaced. In this case, It is a world populated only by women Obsessed with entomology. (Music) The great use of off space And the sound that suggests and envelops, Are other letters that Strickland Handled with mastery since his debut, The very unsettling "Katalin Varga". In the next, The sound world of the subgenre of Italian terror He becomes an eccentric protagonist. (SHOUTS) The refined palates and seekers of new experiences, They are in luck. This week they will be able to close In the suggestive mansion of "The Duke of Burgundy". And the next, In the overwhelming and surreal process of sound mixes Of "Berberian sound studio". Welcome to the worlds of Peter Strickland.
