The Duke of Burgundy follows two lovers who delight in a highly stylised world of moths, rituals, and role-play. Warm, witty, and gently kinky, the film playfully explores how devotion, desire, and negotiation shape their relationship, revealing that love, like lepidoptery, takes curiosity, care, and a touch of mischief.
