“If somebody looks like Jacob Elordi, the best thing you can do is give them a Carpe Diem tattoo and a Livestrong bracelet!” <\/p>
Since it was added to the Prime Video<\/a> library just before Christmas, Emerald Fennell\u2019s second feature, Saltburn<\/a>, has made quite a splash \u2013 becoming one of the most talked-about films of recent times.<\/p>\n The psychological thriller stars Barry Keoghan as Oliver Quick, an outcast Oxford student who is invited to spend the summer at the estate of Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), a popular aristocratic classmate with whom he has developed an obsession \u2013 only for a shocking sequence of events to be set in motion that leads to several memorable scenes.<\/p>\n One aspect of the film that immediately stands out is its mid \u201900s setting \u2013 made clear by both the costumes and soundtrack<\/a> \u2013 and during an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of the film\u2019s theatrical release back in November, Fennell revealed why she opted for that period.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re dealing with like\u2026 very, very rich, beautiful characters, you\u2019re kind of wanting to sort of make them feel more human,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd there\u2019s nothing more humanising than 15 years ago, because wherever you are in history, it looks terrible!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n She went on to explain that this was particularly relevant when it came to Jacob Elordi\u2019s character Felix Catton.<\/p>\n \u201cIf somebody looks like Jacob Elordi, the best thing you can do is give them a Carpe Diem tattoo and a Livestrong bracelet and two long sideburns,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Fennell continued: \u201cYou know, that kind of thing means that you\u2019re looking at these characters and these places that are timeless and actually, weirdly, it has the effect of making it feel more modern than, I think, if you set it now \u2013 where it would just be people in beautiful clothes, because we don\u2019t really have a context for now in the same way yet.\u201d<\/p> Saltburn is now streaming on Prime Video.
