Writer and director Emerald Fennell sat down with Tumblr Person Cher McAnelly to answer fan questions and chat about the making of Saltburn in this unexpectedly steamy interview.
Loved what she was saying about Felix and how we view him. He’s not nice or some angel in a cesspool or evil and arrogance, he’s just the best considering how awful the rest of the characters are.
Love how rich the film is with intertextual detail and influence. Really imbues those “shocking” moments with exciting depth. Emerald does have an interesting mind. Recently bought her book, Monsters.
Great interview, loved the questions chosen, also THANK you for putting all the movies on screen, makes looking them up so much easier, and additionally made me chuckle when you put “Leonardo di Caprio - actor” on screen too.
A lot of people give her flack, and some of the criticism is warranted, but I can't help but love her perspectives in her films. Very timely, insane, unique. I like different films like this becoming mainstream rather than a generic, streamlined movie, even if they're full of controversy.
So real. It's like it was made exactly with my tastes in mind. I am convinced that it's because Emerald is a tumblr girlie. We are a single minded entity.
It is beautiful! Just reality in its best.... 👍👍🏆🥇 All the movies you like I do have and treasure. I am so glad you made this movie.... We were in such a need of a real movie. So tired of super heroes....
I thought the movie was not worth the hype, the “freak out’ moments were so contrived and just put in there to hype up a rather boring film. The first hour could have been dropped entirely.
