The Substance

One of the most talked-about films of the year has driven audiences out of the theatre at every summer film festival. Can you handle it? Future Gate will screen Coralie Fargeat’s body horror in an exclusive preview. Ageing TV star Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) gets the chance to try a miracle substance that can make her younger and more beautiful. But the desire to change the natural course of things is never easy, which is why there’s a catch – Elisabeth must share her time with her new, better self (Margaret Qualley). A shocking satire thematising our obsession with perfection, this is a must-see if you want to stay in the know.
