The BFI’s London Film Festival is just around the corner, kicking off on October 4 with Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, a new film about a young man who befriends an aristocrat and spends the summer at his family’s country estate.
If it sounds charming, hang tight. Saltburn is more Talented Mr Ripley than Brideshead Revisited, as award-winning writer Emerald Fennell presents a terrifying thriller: Barry Keoghan’s working-class Oliver becomes obsessed with his wealthy friend Felix (Jacob Elordi), meanwhile Felix’s friends and family can be complicated and cruel.
