Read the full Vogue review of Demi Moore’s new body horror, ‘The Substance’, which just premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance – the exhilarating, batshit body horror which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival , and would be my current pick to win the Palme d’Or – begins with two arresting images. The first is of a fried egg being injected with a mysterious liquid. Suddenly, the yolk splits into two and a second egg emerges from it. This, in a nutshell, illustrates the medical procedure at the centre of this mind-bending sci-fi thriller.
It’s then that Sue begins to bend the rules of the procedure, remaining in her younger form for longer than instructed. When Elisabeth returns, she finds that she’s beginning to age at a more rapid pace as a result. Where the film goes from here has to be seen to be believed – it’s a gonzo, breathless descent into the abyss which, in the early screening I attended, had viewers gasping, shrieking, laughing and cheering all the way through.
