"The constant dismissal of beauty" - That sums up people like this perfectly. I grew up with a family where half of them grew up very wealthy and they will do that all the time. Constantly play down how grand something is or how pretty a view is. This film captured their complacency in opulence so so well.
Same!! One side of my family grew up normally and the other side are super wealthy and upperclass. This movie reminded me a lot of my cousins who grew up in a castle that looks a lot like this. They took everything for granted and it was just normal for them. Huge black tie parties and evening dinner dress. Any time I visited it was so surreal, yet they would just complain about things as if it were normal to live like that.
this was WAY too short! I need this woman to make a director's commentary version of the movie! she's such an incredible genius creator and I need to see her directing more movies!
I agree. I want to know much more. And this is the first time ever I find director's commentary as interesting as the movie itself. Maybe also because the British culture is completely alien to me. I spent years trying to understand it and I still can not.
But the blu ray when it comes out. Those always include director’s commentary. “Directors commentary version” isn’t a thing Have you ever own a dvd or a blu ray? Do you even know what a dvd is?
The ease with which Jacob Elordi gives the house tour is not talked about enough. You really get the sense that he has lived there his whole life and the beauty and pageantry of it all means very little to him. It doesn’t feel faked or imposed, it feels lived in and completely authentic. Brilliant performance.
that was my favorite part of it all, the fact that it was this sorto of "period drama meets early 2000's" the scene where they're all cuddled up in the library watching superbad was just GENIUS and so telling of the character's dynamics
i am BEGGING for a Blu-Ray DVD release of this movie with a 4 hour commentary PLEASE EMERALD i NEED IT. This was one of my favorite movies of the year, and I can't wait to watch it again.
This movie is now one of my absolute favourites. I have rarely been so engrossed in the scenery, acting, music and costume design of a film. Truly brilliant.
"I really don't know anyone who's 'nice'. I'm not 'nice'." It's something I've always felt, but it's the first time I've heard someone actually articulate it.
“Who would say no to Felix, no one I don’t think.” Emerald says, and in the beginning of the movie, oliver says “it was impossible not to love Felix.” She ended this interview almost similarly to the way the film began. Genius!
I'm very pleased she's breaking down the style choices of the rooms and items and clothing and I'm also pleased that I was absorbing this while watching the way she intended. I love movies shot with this kind of stuff in mind, it immerses you more.
Gotta give it to her. She directed one of the best films of 2023. Saltburn is a one of my favorites this year!! Congratulations on this great movie!! I will be waiting for your next film!!
I love this director!! fearless..hysterical..dark..brilliant... I love listening to her describe the way her mind works.. no wonder all the actors etc love working with her ... she's an incredible artist ..we needed someone like her to 'get back to real art of filmmaking'.... Bravo Emerald!!
I am enthralled by her description, insight, and attention to detail, I could listen to her forever. So intelligent and creative. Amazing. I wish I had a fraction of what she's able to do. Well done. I want more.
MORE OF THESE IMMEDIATELYYYYY there’s so much to unpack and she explains everything so wellll I was disappointed when it ended. Thank you Fennel for this brilliant movie
I'm looking forward to this movie, since I enjoyed Emerald's directorial debut, Promising Young Woman. Having Carey Mulligan also be on board is an added bonus, as well as the 2000's nostalgia.
I always wondered how the people in the previous centuries lived, being constantly on display. And this film showed me just that (and how detatched one had to become to be able to live like this). I think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It showed me so much. So much food for thought. Especially after wathing this video after watching the film.
Also super accurate how scary Duncan the head butler was. Going to wealthy friends’ houses as a kid/teenager, I’d meet their parents who are (seemingly at least) super nice and warm and casual, and find that the scariest people are actually the help, mostly the “head” help - they’re the ones who act all formal and have all these codes of behavior (leave your bag here, don’t bring ur plate to the kitchen sink etc) and u find yourself sort of wanting to get THEIR approval. It’s hilarious
Brilliant.... never knew her before this movie. Now I'm just fascinated by her. I've been watching interviews with her and she's just someone you would enjoy sitting and talking with. Her eye for details and storytelling is amazing.
@@shaneencalade4988 no I'm sure you haven't been. Sometimes we just don't hear that much about a movie. But I'm pretty sure if you liked salt burn, you will like PYW. I believe she got an Oscar for best screenplay or something like that
@@hH-lc1to my thought (since we're just indulging here anyway) was that americans today might be overly confused by the idea of rich people wanting to be intellectuals.
Best movie of 2023 hands down, Barry keoghan is a talent that comes along rarely, he's that captivating on screen, something about him we can all relate to ❤
This movie and Triangle of Sadness were my two favs of 2023. Both took angles on the wealthy. Both had great detail that someone with ADHD/OCD can appreciate. I’ve called this film a twist of the Talented Mr. Ripey and Silence of the Lambs.
10:41 the accuracy of her generally depicting how we as humans describe ourselves is crazy on point- we are in a way in denial of who we really are like who is going to consciously admit they are a bad person to themselves or to anyone for that matter-
She seems great, but i have 2-3 people i have met through my life that have been genuinely kind and understanding to all. I think about them a lot because i try and emulate that into my life. I hate she hasn’t has anyone (not a single person) who is unconditionally themselves and nice. Because those people are gifts to us and its such a blessing to find.♥️
Emerald Fennell should be the one to do the reboot of the ‘Twilight’ saga either as new movies or as the show runner of the show if they’re still doing that 🤞🤞
I think Quick is based on Steerpike in Gormenghast. Credit to Emerald for reading the books, which once used to be popular among young women at Oxford and is now little read. Certainly none of the film's critics have picked up rhe resemblance.
I need 4 hours of her doing this with every scene in the movie
Me too.
Bring back director commentary on blurays!!
@@Jemethyy yes pleasee!!!! unfortunately I don’t think they’ll release Saltburn on bluray since it’s an amazon prime release 💔
TOTALLY.
Same!
i NEED her to dissect the curtain lunch scene, it was absolutely brilliant i was in awe of the details.
she talks about it on the directors cut podcast!
where can i watch it@@rubyreed9392
Me too!! Absolutely brilliant
YES YES YES
@@rubyreed9392thank you, I’m going to search it
give this woman an unlimited budget to make all the stories in her head into films
I second that!
Third!
Please don't 🙏🏼
And cast Jacob Elordi in every single one of them
lock her up and stop the nonsense
"The constant dismissal of beauty" - That sums up people like this perfectly. I grew up with a family where half of them grew up very wealthy and they will do that all the time. Constantly play down how grand something is or how pretty a view is. This film captured their complacency in opulence so so well.
Yet he makes sure he mentions there are Rubens on the wall.
Despite it making sense, there's something so frustrating about wealthy people acting like that. That whole pathos of affluence.

‘Complacency in opulence’ is such a brilliant phrase! Captures it perfectly!
@@legmcmuffinZ ... and we're ALL like that! We all take what's wonderful in our lives for granted.

She's such an excellent narrator too. It's not just all things she has to say: she says them all in such an interesting way.
@@someguy42093I really hope it does! I would live for the extras. Sometimes ones on Prime don’t come out on DVD though.
This is exactly what a director should be. What a talent.
She can't direct traffic 😅😅😅
@@haroldjoseph8296 her two critically acclaimed films say otherwise. Try again.
@@haroldjoseph8296what's the point of this comment? lol you just look stupid

YES! BEGGING! !
It’s on Amazon prime now. Just watched it
Yes.
I love how detail-oriented and passionate she is!
Emerald Fennell is the epitome of the phrase "The girls that get it, get it" ❤🙌🏻
The girls whose birthday party made it on to a class magazine usually do get what they want yes. Funny how life works
@@douchebag4484 Now that's what we call, a Saltburn.
@@douchebag4484😂😂😂
I'm a fan girl now.
This movie is now one of my absolute favourites. I have rarely been so engrossed in the scenery, acting, music and costume design of a film. Truly brilliant.
Yep ot reminds me of 2001 space odessy in that o cam watch it repeatedly and just get lost in little detaild
"I really don't know anyone who's 'nice'. I'm not 'nice'." It's something I've always felt, but it's the first time I've heard someone actually articulate it.
Well there are plenty of people who enjoy doing nice things for others I think that makes you "nice"
“Who would say no to Felix, no one I don’t think.” Emerald says, and in the beginning of the movie, oliver says “it was impossible not to love Felix.” She ended this interview almost similarly to the way the film began. Genius!

Gotta give it to her. She directed one of the best films of 2023. Saltburn is a one of my favorites this year!! Congratulations on this great movie!! I will be waiting for your next film!!
production design!!!! give the whole team an oscar
I would give na Oscar to the actor who played the buttler. (I don't know if any not British actor could ever do the job, by the way).
She really nailed the 2006 fashion references. I was a freshman in high school and remember all of the things she was talking about.
I could listen to her all day long, she‘s genius I‘m so happy she made this masterpiece come to life
I’m obsessed with the film but even more obsessed with the director. Totally get her vision and attention to detail, that’s why the film works👏
I love this director!! fearless..hysterical..dark..brilliant... I love listening to her describe the way her mind works.. no wonder all the actors etc love working with her ... she's an incredible artist ..we needed someone like her to 'get back to real art of filmmaking'.... Bravo Emerald!!
We need to bring commentary tracks back because I’d listen to her talk about this movie for 30 hours if I could
The lighting in this movie was absolutely beautiful I really need her to break every single scene down its fascinating
This woman is a genius. She should win a Oscar for best picture. She got rob in that category for Promising Young Woman which is my fav movie.
PYW was the best film that year 100%. The best films very rarely win oscars.
pyw?@@empireoflightz
The cast was perfect for this movie and the style of this movie was on par
i need a directors cut of this movie with emerald just explaining every choice ever
I’d pay money to watch her break down the ending or the “vampire” scene 😂😂😂
I really had a crush on Barry so thought the only way to finish the movie was a full frontal
love how she hypes up the actors so much. wild film
anyone else just finish watching saltburn and just wants to soak up all the analysis?
yes! might go back and watch the whole thing again after devouring all the analysis, so wonderful 🙌
I watched it twice in 3 days!@@kats4606
I absolutely *LOVED* Emerald in Call The Midwife, I'm happy beyond words to see her flourishing as a director ❤
She was also Camilla Bowles in The Crown, great actress too
I could listen to Emerald discussing these topics all day. So articulate and engaging
I am enthralled by her description, insight, and attention to detail, I could listen to her forever. So intelligent and creative. Amazing. I wish I had a fraction of what she's able to do. Well done. I want more.
I'll never get tired of listening to Emerald talking so passionately about her (and the team) craft.
This is so creative and unique I love it. I could listen to her talk about this movie all day.

Promising Young Woman was one in my top 5 favorite movies of 2020, so I’m really looking forward to Saltburn, too.
@@daniellavaladez7820I don't think you will be disappointed
Very impressed by this director, makes me believe movies have a hope
100%
I want to see a hundred more movies of this quality. It's amazing and I'm obsessed with it, no doubt about it.
I always wondered how the people in the previous centuries lived, being constantly on display. And this film showed me just that (and how detatched one had to become to be able to live like this). I think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It showed me so much. So much food for thought. Especially after wathing this video after watching the film.
YES!! GODDANG you described. itway better than she did.
Fully agree that there needs to be a breakdown of this entire film. 🙌🏽
Also super accurate how scary Duncan the head butler was.

I watched this film a few months ago and immediately wanted to watch it again. Such a vibe.
where did you watch it?
@@smdnga325 bfi London film festival screening
Where to watch this?
Amazon prime
She is an absolute creative genius. I could listen to her all day !!
What an amazing and passionate director! All the details of the movie are amazing!!
I DEMAND MORE OF THIS. please.
Omg I'm obsessed with her. What an artist.
Brilliant.... never knew her before this movie. Now I'm just fascinated by her. I've been watching interviews with her and she's just someone you would enjoy sitting and talking with. Her eye for details and storytelling is amazing.
Have u seen Promising Young Woman?
@@lizzybeth22 No but I have friends that said I must watch…. They already knew how great she is. Ugh… I guess I’ve been under a rock.

I think I lover her.. I need her to do this for the entire movie..
Now I am convinced Oliver was IN LOVE with Felix. Oliver was aware of everything especially when it came to him.
i think he wanted to consume felix, to become him fully
prolly just obsessed with the idea of him. he loved and hated him.
The chandalier and the fly trap. PERFECT. Exactly what I see everywhere in the UK. In a real life, and in a symbolic way.
What a talent. Incredible film
The director herself mentioned the secret history, I was thinking about it too watching this movie!! Literally my favorite vibes.
True in a vague way. But let's not kid ourselves. This is an interesting project or first draft. The secret history is mint.
Id like her to develop Secret History miniseries... Transpose it to UK tho. Locations and actors will be better.
@@CTScenic with great respect, no. Not her. Not the UK. Vermont is where it happens. Artistic liberties should be taken elsewhere.
@@hH-lc1to my thought (since we're just indulging here anyway) was that americans today might be overly confused by the idea of rich people wanting to be intellectuals.
@@CTScenic I don't believe I've ever been more on the same page with someone ! With that caveat, I wholeheartedly agree ! 👌💯
i love her circling things on what is just a black screen @11:00. bring lighting back
Wow so much detail, great to hear the director's notes, so much stuff I obviously took in subconsciously but she points out everything, wonderful.
Could listen to her creative choices for hours
Best movie of 2023 hands down, Barry keoghan is a talent that comes along rarely, he's that captivating on screen, something about him we can all relate to ❤
He actually looks like what we all think we look like to others: weird and odd.
Oppenhiemer is the best 8.4. Saltburn 7.4
Thank you Vanity fair for being as a free film school!❤
Absolutely fascinating. More of Emerald please!!
Need this to be at least 4hours long…loved it
I’m in love with her passion for filmmaking
EMERALD IS A GEEENNNIIIIUUUUUSSS!!!!!!! I look forward to your future movies!
I could listen to her all day
This is the most interesting video of scene analysis in a film!
She is absolutely brilliant which shows through this movie. Absolutely ❤ it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was immersed in this film, really enjoyed watching all of it.
"I don't think I know anyone truly nice." - so true
very much hope they release a director’s commentary for the blu-ray 💙 mad, beautiful film 🎞️
commentary like this on the entire movie is a must!!
This movie and Triangle of Sadness were my two favs of 2023. Both took angles on the wealthy. Both had great detail that someone with ADHD/OCD can appreciate. I’ve called this film a twist of the Talented Mr. Ripey and Silence of the Lambs.
Triangle of Sadness was released in 2022
I thought the exact same thing about the comparison of The Talented Mr Ripley
@@angussymonsTo be fair the past few years have gone by pretty quickly 😅
Ditto lol I saw that comparison too talented Mr Ripley was a similar film.
This movie is just a gift! I can’t stop thinking about it.
I want just a full accompaniment of her narrating the choices and nuances of this film
Such a brilliant, enthralling, exciting film Emerald. Bravo. ❤
Can she do this for the whole movie? I actually really enjoyed it.
Fascinating. I need to re-watch to appreciate the fine details.
“Basically, this movie is The Shining.”

The details this woman considers is just awe inspiring. What a woman, what an incredible eye 👑😎
Emerald Fennell should be the one to do the reboot of the ‘Twilight’ saga either as new movies or as the show runner of the show if they’re still doing that 🤞🤞
Such an interesting movie I can’t wait for her future projects! She is so creative!
I also confirm that the reverse tour take it is "hugely hugely" important
Yes, I loooove when filmmakers pay so much attention to details and making so much just out of small things like empty cans on coke.
"i just don't know anyone nice. not really" top 10 bourgeoisie quotes
I can’t wait to see what she does next because her first two movies are extraordinary
10s across the board this woman is incredible
Cannot wait to see it again. Hope it is on Blu ray soon.
Saltburn was a masterpiece ❤
I’m genuinely mad this wasn’t 2+ hours long
Barry Keoghan, I agree, is a fantastic actor. He’s now one of my favourites
I noticed the live strong bracelet and was immediately impressed about the little details that took me back to the 00’s 😄
Mindblowingly brilliant attention to detail OCD. I loved every frame of this film.
You did magic with this movie, this movie was everything the ending omg
So funny did not even notice it took place in 2006. SUCH a great movie. fav of the year. Huge fan of "..sacred deer" also.
I think Quick is based on Steerpike in Gormenghast. Credit to Emerald for reading the books, which once used to be popular among young women at Oxford and is now little read. Certainly none of the film's critics have picked up rhe resemblance.
I loved that arriving scene
this movie is the most UNINGED thing I've ever seen and I live for it
this woman is a genius. cant wait for what she does next.
I started University in 2005 in England with quite a few posh people, and it was crazy seeing how much they nailed the "period"
