Barry Keoghan’s Oliver is invited to stay at his friend Felix’s sprawling estate, Saltburn, for the summer.
After making a splash with her directorial debut Promising Young Woman, Emerald Fennell returns with the audacious Saltburn.
This thriller tells the story of Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), a student at Oxford University on a scholarship in the mid-2000s.
He finds himself drawn into the world of the rich and charismatic Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi) and is invited to stay at his family’s estate, Saltburn, for a summer they will never forget.
The concept might sound familiar and there’s a reason for that – it is basically the same as Brideshead Revisited. But Saltburn takes the premise of Brideshead and then forges its own unexpected path.
With 2020’s Promising Young Woman, Fennell gave us just a taste of how dark and disturbing her movies could be. She does not hold back with Saltburn, which feels designed to shock and provoke without much substance behind it.
