I have , and I do wish to say there was dialog and aspects of this film that gave me the willies. You see, this is not a narrative, it is more a documentary. Emerald Fennel is showing us something.....
The English upper classes "are not like us" and some of the screenplay had me bug eyed as to its authenticity. Much has been covered in other books and films, Brideshead, Gosford Park, "IF" , Another Country etc But what Saltburn does is show you the mechanics of interpersonal upper class dynamics. And that is not pretty, but VERY on point.
These people are "removed" from their children, and everyone else is there for their entertainment. "The Love' is not there, there are no REAL "externalities of endearment" displayed by the upper classes.
Emerald Fennel has cut open the upper crust cadaver and its not pretty Another big clue about this culture is what the party-goer parent says about her kids at school at Olivers birthday party.
Shudder" !" I get the shivers thinking about what these people really are and that I used to be among them.
Fabulous acting, fab location, fab camera work.
