Title keeps making me think of the Mr. Show Burgundy Loaf skit

no men in this film btw. relying on Morbs or someone equally well informed to mention other general release films where this is the case.

That's a really good question, and a unique aspect I'm not sure I've encountered reading about this film yet.

the film is superbly punctuated by lectures on lepidoptera, with slow scans of the all women audience - they're all fantastically dressed and individually beautiful - in the way that is sometimes demeaningly termed "striking". the only exception being a slightly toppling badly wigged mannequin.
this film is as much about dress and dressing up as it is about anything else. the visual and aural aspects of the fabric are v sensually indulged in.

Saw the trailer when I went to see Goodbye to Language (another film of tiny bits of very beautifully done sound) (as almost all Godard) and I quite like to see this as well.

Thanks for reminding me that I missed my chance to see "Goodbye to Language" in Chicago, apparently. How does Herzog get a 3D documentary about a cave into theatres, and Wenders gets a 3D doc about a dance into theaters, but Godard's lauded latest barely sneaks in for a couple of weeks? And alas because this is meant for 3D, I have a sad feeling that means I will never get to see it.

I was quite taken with Duke of Burgundy.
The psych/soft folk soundtrack by Cat's Eye sounded good as well.

i missed this at ifc, sadfacejosh, tbf, both herzog and wenders' films are narrative and about subjects people can easily grasp and are in focus

Hope I manage to see this next week.

I seen it. Very lovely and cosy, I wish I lived there. It is a lot like Morgiana minus the crime and identical twin stuff. At the beginning I thought the plot was going to be totally unimportant but it gradually becomes more interesting. I think it's too long but I liked it a lot.
