2. The Duke of Burgundy
In the year that Fifty Shades of Grey brought BDSM relationships
into the mainstream, Peter Strickland gave us a lesbian take on
such a coupling, but the protagonists here felt like a real couple,
coping with all the struggles of so called ‘normal’ relationships.
1. Mommy
It’s incredible to think that at the tender age of 25, Mommy is writer-director Xavier Dolan’s sixth feature film - and his best so far. 10
minutes into Mommy, I hated its central protagonists, a brassy single mother and her wayward teenage son, but an hour later I was
in love with them. Two hours later I was in love with the cinema of
Dolan. Unmissable!
