The Duke of Burgundy is a 2014 British erotic romance drama film written and directed by Peter Strickland, and starring Sidse Babett Knudsen as Cynthia and Chiara D'Anna as Evelyn.

The film was screened at various film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival, the BFI London Film Festival, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam, to positive critical reviews.[1][5][6] According to Strickland, the film was influenced by Spanish filmmaker Jesús Franco, including with the casting of Monica Swinn, who had worked with Franco previously.
