Who would ever guess that this totally personable, charming English woman is actually one of the most wonderfully deranged auteurs out there?! I equally loved and was deeply disturbed by Saltburn. I can't wait to see what she gets up to next. And a perfect interview as always! Fun, but also insightful and a real glimpse of who she is.
From being a nurse in Call The Midwife to being season 2 showrunner and executive producer of Killing Eve to being Camilla Bowles in The Crown Season 3 and 4 to getting a directorial debut in Promising Young Woman that earned her an Oscar win for the script to playing Midge in the recent Barbie movie to making Saltburn, Emerald Fennell is a fascinating artist 🙌
I feel like Emerald, deep down, has a pessimistic way of perceiving that the nature of humans is flawed rather than believing goodness in people, which ultimately translates into the tragic ending of the movie Saltburn
The fact that this is the third time Pike and Mulligan collaborate together says a lot about their friendship. I hope to see them together again in the future
She is very talented. I love her character in “Call the Midwife”. I do find it sad that she feels she doesn’t know anyone that is a morally good person. While many people in this life seem to be narcissists with little to no empathy or respect for others, I feel blessed that I do have at least a couple of long-terms friends that are truly loving, compassionate, & supportive of all God’s people. ❤
Jake, this is my first time watching any of your interviews. I've done a lot myself. I've read and watched a ton. You're really, really good at this. Seriously. That was impressive.
I liked the part where you read the Letterboxd review. Would you consider making this a thing? The questions were great too, Mr. Hamilton. Sincerely, from such a huge fan
His mouth seems small for his face. I find Barry very attractive. I think I like men who look a little unique or different but still hot. Jacob just looks very much like most men.
OK, I've watched a few recent interviews now and I'm calling it... Emerald Fennell gives female Morrissey vibes. Anyone? No one? OK! Loved this film, by, the way🔥
I made a fancast of saltburn. If the cast didn't play their character, I picked Tom Blyth as Oliver Quick and Jamie Flatters as Felix Catton Kate Winslet as Elsbeth Catton Paddy Considine as Sir James Rish Shah as Farlehigh Stars Mimi Keene or Anya Taylor Joy as Venetia Margot Robbie as Pamela Charlie Cox or Andrew Scott as Duncan Kodi Smit McPhee as Michael Gavey and emerald fennell is still the director for saltburn
Also, people kept saying there were “shocking” scenes. I didn’t see any. Would like to add, a guy simply willing to go down on a woman during her period is the hottest thing. 😅 The character is obviously messed up, but that part was sexy and the dancing .
Also witty, sharp dialogue, funny, beautifully shot, unpredictable, great acting. If you simplify the film to nothing more than the "shocking" scenes, that speaks to your intelligence and understanding of great art.
Am I the only one? I watched 2/3's of Saltburn...Was Horrified....Paused It....Looked up the plot online, read how it ended...Then decided to watch the last 1/3! LOL Just Me?
In the future, it would be better to name/credit film critics if you're going to quote their words. That Letterboxd review was written by Zoë Rose Bryant
Lots of promotion around this movie - but I found it repulsive. It could have been a good movie but ended up going for disgust and gratuitous, cheap shock value instead. Disappointed that this is getting so much attention. Also the description doesn't really tell you what's in it and you end up having subjected yourself to things you'll wish you hadn't. An hour and a half of my life I'll never get back, utterly wasted.
