102. SALTBURN (2023) dir. Emerald Fennell

Tuesday night's alright for sickos, baby! One of my favorite movies of last year is Emerald Fennell's SALTBURN, a sordid descent into glamorous hell, guided by an ill-placed, unfettered id. When you've got such talents as Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Archie Madekwe and Richard "I'm an international treasure" E. Grant, how can this fetishization of beauty not elicit something to keep folks talking?Judging from the flurry of thinkpieces and TikTok clips derived from this sucker, the answer seems simple: "It won't, simply can't, be ignored." ---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
