The substance. 2024
10/10
A aging star undergoes a treatment that enables her to live a double life.
Using a product called the substance, it creates a younger version of herself, out of her own body. But it can only last a week before there has to be swap in order for the original older person to regenerate a liquid that the younger one uses each day.
The film is full of 'body horror' with clear inspiration coming from the early films of David Cronenberg. Plot wise it deals with aging as a woman in show business and the rampant egos on both sides. Its shot in a hyped kind of way with lots of different angles, close ups of the body which could be described as 'erotic' but when taken in context of the film show a clear lustful shallow look.
Written and directed by a french woman its definitely a outsiders look at aging in a country that is obsessed with image, and nothing else.
