"London Film Festival Kicks Off with Emerald Fennell's 'Saltburn'"
The BFI London Film Festival has chosen Emerald Fennell's sophomore feature, "Saltburn," as its 2023 curtain-raiser. Described as a "beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire," the film stars Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe, and Carey Mulligan. Set in the mid-2000s, the story follows a struggling student who becomes entangled in the world of an aristocratic family. The festival's director praised the film's exceptional performances, plot twists, and soundtrack, and expressed excitement to share it with audiences in October. "Saltburn" will be released in cinemas on November 24.
