PLOT Oxford University, 2006. Outsider Oliver (Keoghan) becomes friends with the wealthy Felix (Elordi), and assimilates into his world.
WITH HER FEATURE debut Promising Young Woman, Emerald Fennell took a scathing swipe at themes including rape culture, misogyny and violence against women. Her follow-up, Saltburn, sees the writer-director set her sights on class, social mobility and the über-rich, delivering a satirical thriller that leaves you holding your breath and rolling your eyes in equal measure.
