Screening on Fri 25 includes an introduction to Coralie Fargeat, writer/director/producer of this extraordinary new body horror.
“Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. You should try this new product, The Substance. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.”
In director Coralie Fargeat’s (The Revenge) rollicking new body-horror satire, Demi Moore give a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid).
Facing the loss of her hard-earned career to the latest young model, Elisabeth is drawn to the anti-ageing promises of a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as a gorgeous, 20-something.
The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in her old body and one week in her new one. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could possibly go wrong?
The film premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival where Fargeat won the Best Screenplay award.
