Saltburn soundtrack: What songs are in Emerald Fennell's thriller?
The new film includes songs from musicians as wildly different as Handel and The Cheeky Girls.
Emerald Fennell's follow-up to her Oscar-winning debut feature Promising Young Woman is here - and it features a catchy soundtrack.
Set in the early 2000s, the movie is filled with noughties pop bangers, in addition to a couple of more classical choices - such as the iconic anthem Zadok the Priest.
And ahead of release, Fennell spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com about putting together the film's soundtrack, and how some of the very different songs that appear combined to give it a "more British" flavour.
"Music in general, for me, is really, really important," she explained. "It's a huge part of the writing process, and then a lot of songs will be in the script just so I kind of know where we are as these sort of anchor points.
"But then obviously, I mean, songs like Have a Cheeky Christmas by The Cheeky Girls come later. And, you know, it just completely transformed the film, because to see Zadok the Priest next to Have a Cheeky Christmas really does feel for some reason more British!"
