Your guide to movies that also work as ASMR

THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY (Peter Strickland, 2014) Strickland’s aurally fixated The Duke of Burgundy offers an ASMR-heavy taster of what’s to come with In Fabric. In the 2014 lesbian love story, Cynthia and Chiara are a kinky, butterfly-obsessed duo whose hobbies including insect conferences, caressing the textures of lingerie, and watersports. “Cynthia, this is all I ever dreamed about, to be loved by you, to be used by you,” Chiara whispers, evoking ASMR in tone and content. “I can’t tell you how happy I am.” Elsewhere, there’s creaky floorboards, old-fashioned typewriters, and the lawnmower-esque buzz of butterflies flapping wings.
