Viewing Notes

One of my most anticipated movies of the fest, The Duke of Burgundy is as much a visual feast as Berberian Sound Studio was an audio feast. A film that pays homage to the sexually liberated and visually lush European films of the sixties, Burgundy is really a film about relationships and highlights the mundane in even the most sexually adventurous of them.
