Synopsis

Elizabeth Sparkle, a fading actress, seems to have found the solution to her problems when she discovers “The Substance”, a miraculous product that allows her to create an alter ego that is an improved version of herself: younger, more beautiful, more perfect. A gripping film, winner of the award for Best Screenplay at Cannes, combining gore, body horror, dark comedy and feminist discourse, and featuring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley in all their glory.

Director

Coralie Fargeat

A French filmmaker, she already made her mark with her debut feature, the award-winning Revenge (2017). She also directed an episode of the recent television adaptation of Sandman.
