One of the most talked about films that came out in late 2023, Saltburn follows Oxford University student Oliver Quick, played by award-winning Irish actor Barry Keoghan. In the movie, Oliver uses his untamed confidence to trick himself into his aristocratic classmate Felix Catton’s life and his family’s extra event estate, Saltburn.
Saltburn has been rated as one of the best releases of 2023. Critics have described the performances as “acerbic” and the overall film as “a delicious cinematic schadenfreude.” Barry Keoghan’s performance could only be described as phenomenal and rightfully gained him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.
Among great acting, Saltburn also features terrific cinematography led by Oscar-winning director of photography Linus Sandgren, who also worked on such films as La La Land (2017), No Time to Die (2021), and Babylon (2022).
All in all, the film is creepy and showcases some superb acting by a well-gifted cast. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. So, here are thirteen memorable quotes about love from Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn.
- Oliver Quick: Is there really ever such a thing as an accident, Elspeth? I don’t know. Accidents are for people like you. For the rest of us, there’s work. And unlike you, I actually know how to work.
- Oliver Quick: I’m sorry my performance wasn’t good enough.
- Duncan: Lots of people get lost in Saltburn.
- Venetia Catton: Stranger-fucking-danger.
- Sir James Catton: Eat the bloody pie!
- Venetia Catton: He doesn’t like sharing his toys. Even the ones he doesn’t want to play with anymore.
- Farleigh Start: Fuck, chuck or marry: Richard III, Henry VII or Henry VIII? You know, I think I’d fuck Richard III. He’s so insecure, so you know he’d put in the work, right?
- Felix Catton: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe, If he squeals, let him go, uh… you’re out, boy scout.
- Sir James Catton: The words are on the screen! That’s the best part.
- Felix Catton: I don’t know what you are but I do know you. You make my fucking blood run cold.
- Elspeth Catton: I was a lesbian for a while, you know, but it was all a bit too wet for me in the end. Men are so lovely and dry.
- Venetia Catton: I don’t think you’re a spider, you’re a moth. Quiet, harmless, drawn to shiny things, banging up against a window, and begging to get in.
