History Film / Saltburn

* AmbiguouslyBi: Oliver is somewhere between this and AmbiguouslyGay. He's madly besotted with Felix, though explicitly denies being in love with him; he gives Farleigh a handjob, and kisses Venetia, but [[spoiler:was likely doing so just to get at Saltburn.]]

* LectureAsExposition: Oliver recites Creator/RobertBrowning's "My Last Duchess", a poem about obsession and possession taken to murderous extremes.

* IvyLeagueForEveryone: The UK-specific equivalent. Felix, Oliver, and Farleigh are all new students at [[UsefulNotes/{{Oxbridge}} Oxford.]]

The teaser trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNYepvUtYGA here.]] The film premiered at Telluride on 31st August, 2023, and was released in the UK on November 16th. The full trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lALMdJf6UUE here.]] It will then have a limited theatrical release in the U.S. on November 24th, 2023, before opening wide on December 1st.

* IvyLeagueForEveryone: The UK-specific equivalent. Felix, Oliver, and Farleigh are all new students at [[{{Oxbridge}} Oxford.]]

* JealousRomanticWitness: In the trailer, Oliver [[ThePeepingTom watches through the window]] as Felix hooks up with Annabelle.
* MeetCute: A platonic version - in the trailer, Oliver first runs into Felix, whose bike has gotten a flat on the side of the road, and offers his own bike so Felix can get to class.

* PopularityCycle: The trailer implies that Felix has this problem: Venetia dismissively tells Oliver that she likes him even more than "last year's one", the implication being that Felix picks up impoverished people (especially men) to befriend and then discards him when he's bored of them.
* WardrobeFlawOfCharacterization: In the trailer, Farleigh can immediately tell that [[PennyAmongDiamonds Oliver]]'s tux is a rental, and asks him about it.

It's 2006, and Oliver Quick (Creator/BarryKeoghan) is a working-class student out of place at [[UsefulNotes/{{Oxbridge}} Oxford]] except for his OnlyFriend (Creator/EwanMitchell). When the wealthy and popular Felix Catton (Creator/JacobElordi) suggests that he come to Felix's family estate, Saltburn, for the summer, Oliver jumps at the opportunity. However, when he meets Felix's parents, Elspeth (Creator/RosamundPike) and Sir James (Creator/RichardEGrant), Oliver enters a mysterious and treacherous world of privilege and obsession.

%%* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: Sixteen or seventeen years into the past. ''Saltburn'' was filmed in 2022, released in 2023, and is set in 2006.
%%* AmbiguouslyBi: Felix is (briefly) very interested in Oliver, but he is only shown hooking up with women.
%%* AmbiguouslyGay: Oliver is so besotted by Felix that he [[spoiler:literally drinks his bathwater]], but he denies being ''in'' love with him, and [[spoiler:tries to make a move on Felix's sister.]]
%%* ButNotTooBlack: Farleigh is Felix's cousin, and the only black member of the aristocracy, but he is light-skinned. He's conscious of his race despite his social class.
* InterclassFriendship: The trailer shows that Felix is from the aristocratic upper classes, while Oliver is from a poor background, but the two are still friends...at first.
%%* IvyLeagueForEveryone: A UK-specific example. The film is partially set at [[UsefulNotes/{{Oxbridge}} Oxford]], where Felix, Oliver, and a significant portion of the young cast are students. Downplayed in that most of them, save Oliver, are privileged rich kids.
