Saltburn: Sophie Ellis-Bextor responds to Barry Keoghan’s iconic nude scene
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared her thoughts on the use of ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ in Saltburn. (Spoilers incoming.) Directed by Emerald Fennell, the psychological thriller concludes with Barry Keoghan’s character dancing completely in the nude to the British pop star’s signature anthem.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Ellis-Bextor admitted that she “wasn’t quite prepared for the visual”: “Seeing it written down as a premise is different.
I mean, Barry really went for it. And it’s, like, the whole song!” “Whenever your music’s used, you get a little synopsis,” she continued. “So I saw Emerald’s name connected to the project and I already was familiar with her and how talented she is.
I’ve seen Promising Young Woman and really enjoyed it. “This little synopsis described how the character would be dancing, but I didn’t have any context.
