Attracted by the subject - the action takes place in Oxford in a student environment, I am interested in this topic, because my granddaughter is now studying at the university, but, thank God, not in Oxford, but in another, there is no such dominance of the elite. The weekend says it’s a drama, I’d call it a thriller, because it’s not just drama, it’s just horrible things that happen. Saltburn, directed by Emerald Fennel. A young boy, Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan, whom we know from the movie Banshee Inisherina), enters Oxford in 2006, receiving a scholarship for very high exam results, apparently. But since he does not belong to the elite, whose children mainly study there, at first no one pays attention to him, except one nerd, also apparently of the same origin, but Oliver himself does not have any interest in him, he wants to join the very company in which he is not accepted. And one day the case contributes to this - once in the park he sees the leader of that company Felix (Australian actor Jacob Elordi), who had a flat tire on his bicycle, and he was just late for class, Ollie offered him his bicycle, for which Felix imbued him with gratitude, began to slowly notice him and dragged him into his company. Oliver, or as Felix calls him Ollie, sometimes tells Felix about his hard life, about his parents - drunks and drug addicts, eventually tells about the death of his father. Unlike Ollie, Felix, though a typical major, has some empathy and empathy for Ollie, and at the end of the school year he invites him to spend a vacation at their family castle Saltburn. Ollie arrives there, and slowly we watch Ollie reveal who Ollie really is. And he turns out to be the last lying manipulator and pervert. Everything ends just terrible, I will not tell you so as not to reveal the intrigue. The film could be very good, but there is some secondary, the heroes of such a plan, which we have already seen in the cinema, emerge in memory - "Return to Brideshead", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", but thanks to the good acting work of the leading actors, it looks still good, I, in any case, looked to the end, to watch which, however, was quite disgusting.
