The Big Picture Before Saltburn portrayed the busy halls of Oxford University, The Riot Club showed the darker side of its elite student population in one of the most stomach-churning non-horror movies ever made. It may share a setting with Emerald Fennell's sophomore feature, but The Riot Club removes all the whimsy and satire of Saltburn and gives a brutal portrayal of power in youthful, unforgiving hands.
Release Date March 27, 2015 Director Lone Scherfig Cast Sam Claflin , Max Irons , Douglas Booth , Jessica Brown Findlay , Thomas Arnold , Harry Lloyd , Amber Anderson , Andrew Woodall Runtime 107 Minutes Main Genre Drama Writers Laura Wade What Is 'The Riot Club' about? The Riot Club follows an elite society at Oxford University that shares its name with the movie's title.
'The Riot Club' and 'Saltburn' Explore the Extremity of Wealth Divide Close Saltburn and The Riot Club both represent the vast extremes of wealth disparities, but their different tones set the two movies apart. Saltburn is much more satirical, which allows the movie to thread dark comedy through it. The way the upper class is portrayed, particularly their out-of-touch nature, is exaggerated to a more comedic effect.
The Initiation Dinner in 'The Riot Club' Is Sickening and Brutal The expression of hedonism prevalent at the club's initiation dinner begins as typical for students, with drinking games and general tomfoolery. However, the pub's other diners disapprove of the club's raucous behavior. The distinction between the club in their own private room and the family pub setting pushes the us vs. them narrative, isolating the group physically and thematically.
