“Substance” (2023) is Coralie Fargeat’s provocative body horror film starring Demi Moore in a career-redefining role as Elisabeth Sparkle, an aging celebrity desperate to maintain her youth and relevance in a culture obsessed with perfection. The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to both shock and acclaim, follows Elisabeth as she discovers a revolutionary new treatment that promises eternal youth but comes with increasingly grotesque side effects. Margaret Qualley delivers a chilling supporting performance as Sue, Elisabeth’s ambitious assistant with her own agenda, while Dennis Quaid rounds out the cast as the manipulative television executive who exploits Elisabeth’s desperation.
The film’s unflinching examination of beauty standards and celebrity culture is matched by its audacious visual style, with cinematographer Benjamin Kračun creating striking imagery that alternates between glossy perfection and visceral body horror. Fargeat’s direction, which earned her the Best Director award at Cannes, combines biting social satire with genuinely disturbing horror sequences that push the boundaries of the genre. Critics praised the film’s feminist perspective and Moore’s fearless performance, with many comparing it to the body horror classics of David Cronenberg while noting its distinctly female perspective on physical transformation and societal pressure. With its 92% Rotten Tomatoes score, “Substance” has established itself as one of the most discussed and divisive horror films of recent years.
The poster is printed on thick glossy paper of A3 size (297Г—420 mm). Frame is not included.
