The Substance - September 2024

Coralie Fargeat roared onto the screen in 2017 with the blood-soaked, candy-colored, rage-filled "Revenge." Now sex games, she's back for another bizarro, violent, etting film about women trying to survive under the male gaze. The film is titled "The Substance," and when it premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, it won the award for best screenplay. It also stars some pretty heavy hitters — Demi Moore ("Ghost"), Margaret Qualley ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"), and Dennis Quaid ("Far From Heaven")."The Substance" promises to be a messed-up treat for body horror fans, as the official synopsis reveals, "Moore's Elisabeth Sparkle is a former A-lister past her prime who is suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug, the Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?"
