The Duke of Burgundy + Director Q&A18
In a secluded world, lovers Cynthia and Evelyn live out a carefully structured relationship built on ritual and control. But as routine replaces passion, their desires begin to diverge, testing the limits of their bond. Directed by Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio), this hypnotic, sensorially rich drama draws inspiration from 1970s European erotica to explore intimacy, power, and emotional vulnerability with striking sensitivity.
Screening followed by an in-person Q&A with director Peter Strickland.
The Duke of Burgundy is showing as part of a double-feature with Harry Lighton’s Pillion. Purchase tickets to both screenings (in a single transaction) and receive a 20% discount on the total cost.
‘The shifting nature of long-term relationships is explored through a couple with a fetish for butterflies and S&M and it’s a sumptuous, spellbinding, sensory experience.’
★★★★★ Katherine McLaughlin, Little White Lies
‘A meticulously choreographed erotic theatre.’
★★★★★ Wendy Ide, The Times

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
