Oliver (Banshees' Barry Keoghan), a scholarship student at Oxford, finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic classmate Felix (Jacob Elordi, Euphoria). Ever generous, Felix invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family's sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.

Writer-director Emerald Fennell burst on the scene with her shocking debut A Promising Young Woman and Saltburn is equally unsettling and perverse. This Gothic thriller boasts a wickedly talented cast (Carey Mulligan, Richard Grant and the icy and precise Rosamund Pike) as devious and surprising in their performances as the story is in its twists and turns. Not for the faint of heart, this is a provocative, violent portrait of repulsion and desire, probing the ways that intense want can transform into something deeply disturbing.
