Almost every frame of Saltburn exudes opulence, a deliberate choice aligning with its overarching theme\u2014a modern take on the eat-the-rich fable. The narrative follows an Oxford University freshman, portrayed by Keoghan, who becomes infatuated with a popular student, played by Jacob Elordi, eventually maneuvering his way into a lavish million-dollar family estate.<\/p>\n

Moreover, filming at Northamptonshire\u2019s Drayton House, a historic Grade I listed country estate never before used for film, likely contributed significantly to the production costs. The involvement of renowned collaborators, such as Academy Award-winning cinematographer Linus Sandgren (\u201cLa La Land\u201d) and Emmy-nominated costume designer Sophie Canale from \u201cBridgerton,\u201d further escalated the film\u2019s budget into the millions.<\/p>\n
