Mubi has just dropped an enticing teaser for the upcoming body horror film "The Substance," directed by Coralie Fargeat, featuring a stellar cast including Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.
In what promises to be a career-defining role, Demi Moore portrays Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-list celebrity grappling with the twilight of her career. Her world takes a dramatic turn when she is abruptly fired from her fitness TV show by the odious studio head, Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid. Elisabeth's life takes an unexpected twist when she encounters "The Substance," a mysterious new drug offering a tantalizing opportunity: temporary rejuvenation as the youthful and vibrant Sue, portrayed by Margaret Qualley.
The catch? Elisabeth must alternate between her own aging body and Sue's youthful form on a strict weekly schedule, adhering to a perfect balance dictated by the drug's rules. However, as Elisabeth navigates this precarious new existence, the film delves into the inevitable complexities and unforeseen consequences that arise from such a transformative experience.
Set against a backdrop of intrigue and suspense, "The Substance" explores themes of identity, aging, and the seductive allure of eternal youth. With Coralie Fargeat at the helm, known for her visceral and thought-provoking approach to filmmaking, audiences can expect a gripping narrative coupled with stunning visuals.
Mark your calendars for September 19th, 2024, when "The Substance" is slated to hit screens, promising to deliver a chilling and unforgettable cinematic experience that blurs the boundaries between beauty and horror.
