The LITERATURE and ART behind Saltburn: Emerald Fennell and Dakota Warren

[@caroraino]

After seeing Saltburn I need Emerald Fennel to direct an adaptation of the Secret History. I think she would do it such justice

[@antonellaleiva3607]

Pleaseeee

[@mil444s9]

Yes!!!

[@nguyethuynh11]

YESSSSS

[@kub3738]

THIS

[@TheMymlan]

YES

[@carlyk756]

you can tell how happy it made her to see someone appreciate all of the details of the film- she looks pleasantly shocked at your enthusiasm and i think that’s so beautiful to see, and so beautiful for you to offer to her in that moment

[@cherubmius]

love how your enthusiasm literally RADIATES here ! it's so infectious; you're convincing me to see this film

[@raurvish]

This convinced me to watch the film. That's how an interview is done. This was short and sweet and covered what it said it would. Dakota you're such a great interviewer, add that to the list. And emerald seems like the nicest director. Wow

[@ellidevinebrady]

I love how much she loves her film and the artistic thought and literature she puts into her craft

[@graypocius]

i've watched so many saltburn interviews and i just want to say that you have easily asked the most interesting questions i've seen yet. you're commending emerald for her attention to detail, but i think we should take a moment to recognize your ability to pick up on those details that emerald cares so much about and ask questions that were obviously important and meaningful to both of you. you're such a natural interviewer, i only wish that you'd gotten more time

[@Mizels]

The impressions of caravaggio that this movie gives with their usage of light is an inevitable fact and I looove how they talked about this

[@anianiani602]

I’ve never gotten so excited about a video, my favourite KZbinr interviewing the director of what has become one of my favourite movies is absolutely perfect

[@delaney8949]

Watching her smile and light up when you said you are a literary girl

[@SevenUnwokenDreams]

You did a great job on this interview; asked the kinds of insightful questions I'm interested in. Definitely have to watch this film!

[@CelluloidRooms]

Damn, I wasn’t ready to see you interview Emerald Fennell. Pretty cool.

[@laurenschenck5355]

CONGRATULATIONS DAKOTA!!! So proud of you 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@viveklouwer1663]

Can't get over how she sais thank you at 1:15 ❤😢

[@folklore222]

you both make this movie sound beautiful! lovely interview 🤍

[@onlyimaginaryy]

I love seeing Dakota fan girl over this and in turn, Emerald being surprised and excited at the enthusiasm she gives

[@Grimscribe732]

Saltburn was brilliant and such a breath of fresh air. I'll have to check out Emerald's other works.

[@natbatrat-d7e]

I CANT BELIEVE YOU GOT TO DO THIS!!! congrats, this is amazing!!!!

[@Tedwardy]

From the light parody of screwball collage frat movies to The Shining to Romeo + Juliet(1996), to the myths of Icarus & the Stag King, Midsummer Nights to Ophelia, Iago, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Richard the 3rd, and Mary Shelly and Frankenstein, to Bergmans Cries & Whispers to CLUE to The Graduate, to Get Out to Six Degrees of Separation to Great Gatsby to Call Me By Your Name to Harry Fuckin Potter and Oliver Twist. This movie wraps it all up with a dance, bridging American Psycho and Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me. And placing all of it- ALL of that culture, under the same roof of a fantasy. The same house of oppression. The same family of white hegemony.

[@safa69]

You forgot the main inspiration/but let's be honest blatant ripoff of 'The Talented Mr Ripley' - copying the protagonist, the plot, the supporting characters, only difference is swapping location Italy for a manor in England. Mr Ripley was a why more superior film, especially the writing, had more depth and not such clueless characters who couldn't work out that Oliver was emulating everyone and a complete weirdo. Just lazy writing. What made Ripley so suspenseful, as he kept on being found out

[@001mary]

you could tell how engaged both of them they were in the conversation. beautiful job dakota💕💕

[@robertbernier4101]

I'm surprised that no one mentions Pasolini's Teorema when discussing Saltburn.

[@FinalGirlStudios]

I clicked so fast!!

[@ellebannana]

Lucky you getting to interview Emerald, I've been dying to watch this!

[@rfgtyygjl]

I absolutely adored the film, it was so opulent and well-crafted. And I loved how you spoke of it Dakota, so lovely seeing two smart female artists talk. This was an amazing interview

[@successions]

i am in love with this pairing

[@rachelkelleher296]

just saw the film and rushed back to watch this! ✨🌟👼

[@dandelionsedyn]

SO EXCITEDDDDDDD

[@maryamaaaaaaaaa]

dakota i was just thinking about you!

[@nicolecooper749]

I’m seeing this movie on Tuesday I can’t wait🤩

[@tusharkumar8750]

Really keen to watch this.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Amazing wonderful interview ❤❤

[@pennywhizzle]

i was checking my youtube notifications after getting back from watching this movie and saw this !! very good coincidence and lively video

[@j4n3m84]

my face when the trailer brings me to this video, which brings me to looking up gothic literature recommendations, which brings me right back to this channel haha

[@ic3peak276]

AHHHHHHHH I LOVE DAKOTA

[@Karin_Allen]

Saltburn reminded me of a novel Emerald Fennell hasn't mentioned (I've watched several interviews with her). I guess that means it didn't offer any inspiration for Saltburn, but it did make *me* go "hmm." I'm talking about The Great Gatsby. Imagine what TGG would be like if Daisy was a man and Gatsby was a sociopathic freak who kicked Nick to the curb in the first 30 pages of the novel.

[@safa69]

Emerald forgot the mention the main inspiration/but let's be honest blatant ripoff of 'The Talented Mr Ripley' - copying the protagonist, the plot, the supporting characters, only difference is swapping location Italy for a manor in England. Emerald didn't mention it because she is trying to distance herself from Ripley as he knows she just ripped it off. Saltburn isn't original. It's been questioned interviews with her, but she shoots it down Mr Ripley was a way more superior film, especially the writing, had more depth and not such clueless characters who couldn't work out that Oliver was emulating everyone and a complete weirdo. Just lazy writing. What made Ripley so suspenseful, as he kept on being found out

[@ThestralGlow]

I really loved them film despite feeling that the editing at the very very end of it was tonally inconsistent in a way that did not merge well or communicate well. However, I was delighted watching it and thoroughly enjoy appreciating someone else's art even if the entirety of it wasn't for me. Seeing Emerald Fennell so excited and eager to talk about it was heart warming and your interview here is great!

[@johnking5433]

Can you please discuss more about how you thought about the editing?

[@ThestralGlow]

@johnking5433 Sure! It seemed quite quickly cut together with these "explanation" shots that suddenly seemed like they felt they needed to explain everything to the audience when for the majority of the movie the tone was ambiguous and mysterious. All subtlety went out the window, the pacing was off, etc... It felt tonally inconsistent and felt less like a climactic energetic ending and more just rushed like the producers told them to cut the run time.

[@timmeyers6141]

@@ThestralGlowI agree. For me, nothing revealed in that sequence was a complete surprise for me. The parts which weren’t confirmed earlier at least provided enough doubt or suspicion to be effective. It seemed like the audience isn’t trusted to put it together on their own. Like someone who tells a funny joke and then explains the punch line. I think the rest of the film was good enough that it didn’t need that. There is possibly some other way to illustrate the act of Oliver confessing everything to Elspeth. As an unreliable narrator, Oliver had already been revealed with the birthday road trip, so it didn’t need to fulfill that function.

[@DayDreamingWhispersASMR]

Omfgggg i knew i knew her!!!!! ITS NURSE MOUNT FROM CALL THE MIDWIFE! Shes amazing!!

[@virginblythe]

I want to go see it in theater for the 2nd time

[@ReadingNymph]

Love the inspirations behind this

[@safa69]

'The Talented Mr Ripley' a movie that came out 25 years ago. Saltburn is a blatant rip off, not original. But Emerald Fennel is writing to make it out that Saltburn was slightly inspired by others fiction, but totally avoids mentioned the movie/book she copied, protagonist, plot, just changed location

[@safa69]

[@pbpbp]

YAY

[@Luke_E_Babyy]

This sounds great. I can’t wait for this.

[@TheGatita990]

Best interviewer ever

[@rainer288]

This was super informative, thank you

[@diamondfranco-zf8cn]

This is dope

[@timmeyers6141]

I thought it was interesting that she chose Palissy out of all the artists she could have chosen to highlight for two plot points. An artist who is known for using casts of real animals in his ceramics, resulting in bizarre not quite genuine representations of natural scenes. For my part, looking at and understanding Palissy’s art is essential to my understanding of the film.

[@mylifeasayushii]

I loved it!❤

[@blondie9422]

Brilliant

[@pbpbp]

I am first here 🤗

[@AngelA-gm9ne]

This is probably the only interview emerald has ever cared about

[@gisellelacerda6419]

aaaaaaaa

[@safa69]

The true immaculate masterind is Mr Tom Ripley. Whom Emerald Fennel writer & director of Saltburn blatantly copied for her protagonist. She denies it interviews when asked. But protagonist,the plot, motivates and side characters all to similar. Only difference is she based it in my manor in England. Saltburn inferior to Talented Mr Rilply. Im surprised when Dakota brings up inspiration for Saltburn like 'Brides Head revisited', Emerald admits yes as well as Atonement, Rebecca. But she nshes no mention of 'The Talented Mr Ripley' which he blankety copied not just inspired by But Saturn written is weak, no depth, so suspense or tension. All characters are dumb, not one being suspicious of Oliver. This is just lazy written. Saltburn is overrated and only became the talk if town by obvious planted baited shock value scenes to get the buzz out to people talking about it and watching it purely out of curiosity.

[@zarbdesign8295]

Why I am the only person who didn’t like this movie…

[@RamonaGelosi]

I don't understand tho why they made Jacob Elordi's character read a Harry Potter book on screen, like...how much money did JK terf won with that?!?!??!?!? I was about to watch the movie and I realized that and now I don't know bc I don't want to support that stuff anymore It's sad bc I really wanted to see it but now I don't know...

[@EastMontana1]

Well, how many of us are Oliver and how many are Felix? I've been both through out my life..... Beautiful, remarkable and Timeless movie.... 🫶👍🥇🏆
