Following the success of “Promising Young Woman,” Emerald Fennell delves into another daring venture with “Saltburn.” This updated rendition of “The Talented Mr. Ripley” immerses audiences in a world of privilege, dissecting human behavior’s transactional facets. Fennell’s direction, coupled with lush production values, crafts a wickedly mean and surreal narrative. Barry Keoghan’s unsettling portrayal of Oliver Quick, infiltrating Jacob Elordi’s aristocratic realm, adds layers of tension.
