The Substance
This award-winning film is a subversive exploitation spectacle in which director and screenwriter Coralie Fargeat strikes back at the film industry. Women have only a limited shelf-life here. This genre-hybrid drama oscillates between the nasty body horror and hard-hitting criticism of patriarchal views on the ageing female body in media landscape.
