Corinth, Henri de. "Love Rites: Oneiros, Ritual, and Metacinema in Strickland’s The Duke of Burgundy." Henri de Corinth (March 5, 2015) ["What does the spectator mean when he or she makes the statement: “the film is like a dream,” or describes a film as “dreamlike?” The oneiric metaphor -being either the portrayal of dreamscapes on film or the use of the analogy between films and dreams as a means of interpreting films- is as old as the medium. A definition of oneiros or the oneiric state for the purposes of this essay would be a ‘dreamscape’ or ‘dream state’ experienced under certain conditions, such as sleep, hypnosis, trance, fugue, or the like. When used in describing films, the filmmakers create the dreamscape’ through artificial means. Peter Strickland’s 2014 film The Duke of Burgundy both portrays and deconstructs the notion of oneiros. The first part of this essay draws stylistic comparisons between Burgundy and the works of certain European genre filmmakers from the late 1960s to the middle 1970s -primarily Jess Franco, and to a lesser extent Jean Rollin and Walerian Borowczyk. It discusses how in emulating them, Strickland draws the viewer’s attention to those directors’ use of dreamscape in order to extrapolate the artifice of filmmaking at large. The second part explores the nature of erotic ritual in Burgundy and how Strickland’s portrayal of ritual exploits the oneiric nature of cinematic narrative."]
