An Intimate Glance… At Saltburn

Emerald Fennell’s masterpiece of Saltburn is justifiably the talk the town. Online, offline, in candle shops worldwide. Regardless of the platform, it’s created a visceral reaction - which given the subject matter, is surely the desired effect.

The undercurrent of the film is undeniably, the ranging (and raging) intimacy throughout.

Fennell & her production team masterfully embedded Miriam Lucia into their production. Lucia is a renowned actor, acting coach and an intimacy coordinator. If there was ever any doubt in your mind that employing an intimacy professional curtails the creative process of intimate scenes, Lucia’s work in Saltburn is exemplary of how this isn’t the case. Not only is each intimate scene critical to the plot and character development, but is what truly defined the film. Lucia’s genius choreography with the hugely talented cast ensured that each intimate scene had a provocative and reactive edge, enhancing Fennell’s vision tenfold.

Deliciously satirical, wickedly raunchy and an absolute must watch… just not with the family.
