the Substance, Coralie Fargeat’s outré satire about modern beauty standards, is a cautionary tale and 2024’s wildest psychodrama, in which Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley slowly transform into a modern Frankensteined wonder. When Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), a 50-year-old actress turned TV fitness instructor, is fired by a network executive who deems her too old, she makes a Faustian bargain, injecting herself with neon-green plasma that lets her live every other week as a sexy, spotless 20-something named Sue (Qualley). But each time Sue overstays her welcome, parts of Elisabeth’s body age at punishing rates. Soon enough, she will become Monstro Elisasue, a distorted ogress who looks like Anjelica Huston in The Witches, if that movie had been 17 times more sinister.
Over two years, Fargeat worked to construct a beastly mash-up befitting the bloodbath of the film’s operatic finale. “All the things that can be seen as pieces of flesh from the outside gaze — our breasts, our ass, our teeth, our smile — were totally deconstructed, pulverized, and put in no order,” the French director says. “It’s the way society has shaped itself by the way men look at women.” This is how Elisasue came to life.
