The Substance
- Part of
- BAM Film 2024
Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid star in this wicked, glossy work of “gonzo body horror” (Rolling Stone), winner of Best Screenplay at Cannes, from French auteur Coralie Fargeat (Revenge). When aerobics star Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is fired on her 50th birthday because of her age, she decides to try a mysterious experimental laboratory substance that promises to deliver a younger, more beautiful version of herself. But what begins as a dream-come-true quickly turns into a nightmare of vanity-gone-wrong in this sickly skewering of capitalism and the unworkable beauty standards it breeds.
