Cinematic masterpiece Saltburn, (2023) directed by Academy Award winning Emerald Ferrell, is a fascinating study in perverse autonomy. Barry Keoghan stars in the psychological drama Saltburn from which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor. Keoghan plays Oliver Quick, a bright, young, brooding social outcast who lands at Oxford and is quickly drawn to the handsome and aristocratic Felix Catton. Oliver strategically enters Felix’s inner circle by casting himself as a poor unfortunate soul, drenched in familial madness and tragedy and thus secures an invitation to spend the summer at Felix’s grand ancestral home in the British countryside. The tropes of Brideshead Revisited and The Talented Mr. Ripley are reworked with fascinating freshness.
Most of the story locates at the massive Saltburn, a grand estate complete with a labyrinth and colorful characters. Mesmerizing cinematography captures the opulence of the British upper class juxtaposed with grotesque ways in which the repressed returns in ruthless and devouring relational enactments.
Join us in exploring these evocative themes, stirring rich psychoanalytic dialogue about essential early relationships, environmental conditions, un-held losses and the impact of these on one's creative aliveness and establishing cohesive, autonomous selfhoods.

- Explain the interior psychological connection between object loss/bereavement and pathological lovers’ processes of obsession and possession.
