The hidden meaning behind the Saltburn egg scene that you probably missed

Saltburn egg scene meaning.

Saltburn fever has well and truly gripped the nation. Barry Keoghan's shocking grave scene has had everyone talking, Jacob Elordi's bathwater has been turned into a candle and Sophie Ellis Bextor is back in the UK charts with Murder on the Dancefloor thanks to the film's naked dancing finale. 

Since Saltburn was released in cinemas in November, and then added to Amazon Prime Video a month later, the internet has been flooded with reactions, memes, and cautionary tales of watching it with your parents. Scenes have been analysed for their shock value - ahem, slurpy baths - as well as their artistic merit, and the stellar performances from Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Alison Oliver and Carey Mulligan have not gone unnoticed in the run-up to award season.
