In a career-best performance Demi Moore is Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?
Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s THE SUBSTANCE turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, it is a thrillingly visionary piece of filmmaking.The Substance showing at: September 22, 5:00 pm
