We are delighted to welcome on director and writer Coralie Fargeat.

The award winning director of Revenge joins us to chat about her latest feature, the much hyped The Substance.

The Substance stars Demi Moore, who won the Golden Globe best actress award this week, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid and is a stunning sophomore feature from Coralie. A truly award winning film that is remarkable achievement.

Coralie chats to us about how she got the film made:

Why it s 'Never Give up' kind of business.

How she had a champion in Eric Fellner from Working Title.

Making a intense and visceral watch.

Repeating theme, tone and getting the cast you want.

Demi Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading Hollywood star who loses her job due to her age.Desperate to reclaim her youth and fame, she turns to a mysterious black market drug called "The Substance."This drug promises to create a younger, more perfect version of herself.

If you're a fan of body horror or psychological thrillers with a thought-provoking edge, "The Substance" will be up your alley. Just be prepared for some disturbing and intense scenes!
