The film is directed by Coralie Fargeat and stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid.
The Substance It is one of the most talked about and impactful films of the year. After its premiere in 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival (winner of the award for Best Screenplay), the film has managed to attract a large mass of spectators willing to submit to its particular experience.
The film follows Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore), a fallen movie star who is abruptly fired by her boss Harvey (Dennis Quaid) from the television program he has hosted for years. Vulnerable after the impact of the news, she agrees to try a new product: “The Substance”, an injection that offers her access to the best version of herself.
This is how Sue (Margaret Qualley), a sexy young woman with whom Elisabeth must share time: seven days for one, seven days for the other, without losing sight of the fact that they are only one.
The French director and screenwriter Coralie Fargeat proposes that twisted premise as a starting point for an exercise in body horror and satire that addresses the female body and the entertainment industry.
