Saltburn (2023) directed by Emerald Fennell. Moral bankruptcy and masquerade. Perversion. There are echoes of similar films and novels that I catch: Dangerous Liaisons, Cruel Intentions, Marie Antoinette, the books of Bret Easton Ellis. But this is it's own slow-burning beast. It's beautiful and melancholic until the mask slips, and then it is all death and decay. (Or maybe it always was.)
Streaming on Amazon Prime.
