YOU ARE ONE. • The absolutely incredible dose of delirium that is Coralie Fargeat's new body horror social commentary, THE SUBSTANCE, is still playing at #arthousecinemaandpub for you to see! A stunning and monstrous take on the world of beauty standards and the objectification of the female body, THE SUBSTANCE sees Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley at the top of their game, delivering incomparable performaces as desperate characters living on opposite sides of the spectrum, with one weaponizing her beauty while the other feels the burdenous weight of beauty as a social construct. • (BIAS WRITER'S NOTE HERE) I /personally/ think this is the most striking film to play in our theatre in a looooooooong time! The sound design, visual effects, and acting are all to die for- they are truly remarkable. It is surreal, experimental, intense, emotional, and captivating. I cannot remember when I last watched a movie in a theatre that gave me such deep feelings of total sensory obliteration as this one. This is a REAL art house movie! I really do not know if another movie of this caliber has a chance of getting released this year! There! There's a little mini review for you! Do what you will with it! • Elisabeth Sparkle is an aging actress who begins to feel the weight of her waning relevance when she loses her spot on a television show after being deemed too old upon her 50th birthday. Desperate for her celebrated youth to come back, Elisabeth begins to use an experimental black market drug- a cell replicating substance that temorarily creates a young and idealized version of herself. Finding success with her new, beautiful alter ego, she begins to misuse the substance as she falls into self indulgence, resulting in horrific side effects! • Tickets are available at arthousebillings.com! • #arthouse #supportsmallbusiness #bodyhorror #horrormovies #experimentalfilm #demimoore #margaretqualley #thesubstance #mubi
