Saltburn Interview: Alison Oliver Discusses That INCREDIBLE Bathtub Scene
The start of Alison Oliver’s filmography couldn’t be better. Her debut role on screen was a significant undertaking, a lead role in the Hulu series Conversations with Friends starring opposite acting heavyweights Sasha Lane, Joe Alwyn, and Jemima Kirke. After delivering a stunningly subtle and thoughtful performance in that, she ventures into completely different territory with her first feature film, Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn.
The movie stars Barry Keoghan as Oliver, an Oxford student who struggles to fit in until the big man on campus, Jacob Elordi’s Felix, takes him under his wing. During summer break, Felix invites Oliver to spend the season with him and his family at their home, the sprawling estate of Saltburn. That’s where we meet Alison Oliver’s character, Venetia, Felix’s sister who seems to have everything in the world — a gorgeous mansion for a home, endless feasts, a massive wardrobe, lavish parties and then some — but still struggles with what she lacks emotionally.
With Saltburn playing in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to chat with Oliver about why she’s glad to have Saltburn as her Conversations with Friends follow-up project, what she appreciates most about Fennell as an actor’s director, and how she tackled what wound up being one of the very best scenes of 2023, Venetia’s bathtub monologue.
