The Substance (2024) Directed by Coralie Fargeat. 2hr 20min.
Join us for contemporary maximalist, satirical body horror film The Substance—whose dark comedic allegorical portrayal of beauty and aging continued to haunt us.
Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. Seriously. You’ve got to try this new product. It’s called the Substance. It changed my life. It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there’s only one rule: you share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy, right? If you respect the balance…what could possibly go wrong? (Festival Cannes)
Part of PAM CUT @ The Whitsell’s inaugural film series, Maximalist Dreamscapes. These bold, visionary films don’t just show us what is—they construct alternate possibilities, expand our perception of the world, and open portals to entirely new dimensions.
