It begins as an "eat the rich" movie, but turns into something very different. We discuss the movie that is burning up TikTok, SALTBURN (2023), and its odd take on class mobility.

Really surprised you guys didn't mention Fennel's background as having been born into the ultra rich. It seems very relevant to any discussion of the film's political perspective (my personal feeling was that it didn't really have anything interesting to say, only the veneer of being topical)

From wiki: Fennell was born in Hammersmith in London to jewellery designer Theo Fennell and author Louise Fennell (née MacGregor).[4] Her sister, Coco Fennell, is a fashion designer.[5][6] Fennell's 18th birthday, documented by British high-society magazine Tatler, was attended by socialite Poppy Delevingne, Lady Alexandra Gordon Lennox (daughter of Charles Gordon-Lennox, 11th Duke of Richmond) and Alice Rugge-Price (great-granddaughter of the 7th Rugge-Price baronet).[7] Fennell was educated at Marlborough College, a private school in Marlborough, Wiltshire.[8] She then studied English at Greyfriars, Oxford, where she acted in university plays. Fennell was, writes journalist K.J. Yossman, "part of a rarefied...social set whose family names I recognized from gossip columns and history books… Balfour, Frost, von Bismarck, Guinness, Shaffer."[9] At Oxford, Fennell was spotted by Lindy King of United Agents.

I agree it's a relevant detail, and I think her background very much gibes with our reading of the film's politics. -L
