Dispatch From Cannes: Demi Moore’s Body Horror ‘The Substance’ Is a Total Knockout

Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance—the exhilarating, batshit body horror which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and would be my current pick to win the Palme d’Or—begins with two arresting images. The first is of a fried egg being injected with a mysterious liquid. Suddenly, the yolk splits into two and a second egg emerges from it. This, in a nutshell, illustrates the medical procedure at the center of this mind-bending sci-fi thriller.

When Elisabeth returns, she finds that she’s beginning to age at a more rapid pace as a result. Where the film goes from here has to be seen to be believed—it’s a gonzo, breathless descent into the abyss which, in the early screening I attended, had viewers gasping, shrieking, laughing, and cheering all the way through.
