Saltburn

This week we review the 2023 black  comedy thriller film Saltburn written, directed, and co-produced by Emerald Fennell, starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan.

Set in Oxford and Northamptonshire, it focuses on a student at Oxford who becomes fixated with a popular, aristocratic fellow student, who later invites him to spend the summer at his eccentric family's estate.

SPOILER ALERT and explicit content warning. This movie has some scenes that have to be seen to be believed.

As the Aussie says "this is an after not a during". He grew to love this movie the more we discussed.

This is a must watch.

(EDIT: It WAS16 years between Oliver and Elspeth meeting - fifteen years had past so Oliver isn't quite yet 40 (per the script he was 19 at the start of the film) and Elspeth is 50's, early 60's)
