Cine: Saltburn (2023)

El año es 2006. El carismático Felix Catton es el imán que atrae todas las miradas durante su paso por la Universidad de Oxford, y, considerando que el actor que lo interpreta es Jacob Elordi, es perfectamente comprensible. En el otro lado de la popularidad se encuentra Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan): tímido, inteligente y extraordinariamente educado, pero de presencia imperceptible. Un encuentro fortuito, en el que Oliver lo salva de un compromiso escolar, los convierte en amigos. Tras confirmarle la muerte de su padre, Catton se conmueve por el suceso y le invita a pasar un verano en su imponente residencia de verano, que lleva el nombre de Saltburn.

Allí se topa con un universo de personajes que parece salido de una película de Wes Anderson: un mayordomo severo y con poca paciencia (Paul Rhys), los padres aristócratas de Felix (Lady Elspeth, en la piel de Rosamund Pike, y Sir James Catton, interpretado por Richard E. Grant), su hermana Venetia (Alison Oliver), la amiga de Elspeth, Pamela (Carey Mulligan) y Farleigh, primo de Felix (Archie Madekwe). Todos con una perspectiva frívola e incluso desalmada sobre los acontecimientos que la familia irá afrontando. Oliver, aunque parece un pez fuera del agua, recibe el respeto de casi toda la parentela.

La obsesión del protagonista con su nuevo amigo y anfitrión es narrada con una fotografía prodigiosa y un ritmo vivaz que elude todo aburrimiento. Es cierto que el metraje incluye escenas, por decirlo de una manera suave, "polémicas", pero la dirección de Emerald Fennell, también autora y productora (rol que también ejerce la actriz Margot Robbie) dota de gran belleza visual, utilizando frecuentemente una simetría que fascinaría a Stanley Kubrick, un cuento salvaje y audaz.

‘Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture’ is digitally restored (now in 4K and with 5.1 sound) with never-before-seen footage including late guitarist Jeff Beck.

Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 11: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms 🦌 This is next on the little are they holiday/Christmas movies, yes they are block- though as I was watching these I have decided I think I would put The Shop Around the Corner after this one, but that isn't to say I don't like this, I definitely do, I'm just having a growing appreciation for the classic as I see it more. That said, I have similar grown to enjoy this more upon further viewings. It still suffers from a bit of, unclarified muddle, let's say- but, my appreciation and understanding of it have increased over time. Also, it is visually stunning and fantastical, both of which I appreciate. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #TheNutcrackerAndTheFourRealms #2018 #MackenzieFoy #MorganFreeman #HelenMirren #KeiraKnightley #JaydenFoworaKnight #MistyCopeland #MatthewMacfadyen #EugenioDerbez #RichardEGrant #TheNutcracker #TheNutcrackerAndTheMouseKing #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfZMLJuNIlWxkFSr8kOXZbUmc7dLGuGw6N-_I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is one that I remember from the VHS days, but didn't see it until I got the DVD. I saw the sequel ahead of this one. I gave this a watch thanks to the Podcast Under the Stairs' Movie Club. This is a great performance from Julian Sands as he plays the title character. We are getting people from the past, magic and a bit of a mean-spirit with things that the Warlock needs to do. Not a great movie, but definitely a fun one. What do you think of this one? My thoughts are up on @davidosu87’s blog or the link below!
