Coralie Fargeat, director of the bloody and brutal 2017 French movie Revenge, is returning with The Substance, which we have a first look at.
The Substance First Look
The Substance stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. The film is set to premiere at Cannes Film Festival later this month, and the Cannes website offers up some details on what to expect from The Substance.
“Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You should try this new product: The Substance. It changed my life. With The Substance, you can generate another version of yourself, younger, more beautiful, more perfect… Just share the time. One week for one, one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days. Easy isn’t it?
“If you follow the instructions, what could go wrong?”
With that description, it would appear Qualley is playing a younger version of Moore’s character, which sounds intriguing.
Fargeat made a strong statement in 2017’s Revenge, which shows Jen’s (Matilda Lutz) romantic getaway with her wealthy (married) boyfriend (Kevin Janssens) disrupted when his friends arrive for an impromptu hunting trip. Tension mounts at the house until the situation culminates unexpectedly, leading to a violent gore-soaked revenge spree.
