Saltburn

Saltburn is the Catton family estate, where Oliver Quick is invited to spend the summer vacation with his Oxford schoolmate Felix Catton and his aristocratic family. The class differences between the two, power of guilt, passion, and rage, turn the visit into a series of encounters on the axis between friction and attraction. Emerald Fennell's second film, after Promising Young Woman, marks her as one of the most intriguing voices in cinema today. She presents refined, agile, and effective cinema, with several intense and unforgettable scenes. The film relies on some of the narrative structures of her previous work, dropping the ideological and value dimension from it, and in their absence Saltburn transforms into an unsettling social farce, which has rightfully earned its sensational status in recent months.
