At the end of Saltburn, Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) dances triumphantly through a mansion to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor”. Emerald Fennell’s caustic comment on class is one of the most divisive films of 2023, but despite its mixed reception has inspired a popular TikTok trend, which sees the hit song remixed over footage of people dancing through mansions. This video is a typical example, with the user effectively assembling a snapshot of privilege via their smartphone and editing software. However, as the comments attest, the trend has come under fire for missing the supposedly satirical point of the film.
