Emerald Fennell's "Saltburn" is a rollercoaster ride through the eccentricities of early-2000s England, blending black comedy with psychological thrills. The film, centered around a university student's obsession with a wealthy peer, takes unexpected turns that leave audiences both disturbed and captivated. The stellar cast, led by Barry Keoghan's compelling performance as Oliver Quick, contributes to the movie's intensity.
The plot unfolds as Oliver, a scholarship student, is invited to spend the summer at his friend Felix Catton's family estate, Saltburn. The film's dark undertones are reminiscent of classics like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Brideshead Revisited," creating an atmosphere of suspense and unpredictability.
