Summary
In Emerald Fennell's "Saltburn," the film portrays a world of wealth and privilege amidst the backdrop of surging inequality, highlighting the stark contrast between the elite and the rest of society. The protagonist's treacherous pursuit of the Catton family's estate is criticized for glamorizing wealth and consuming it through the eyes of the protagonist, while the film's sensational nudity and uncomfortable sexual moments play a crucial role in reinforcing its themes and conveying its complex message.
