Rewatch your favorites or check out the ones you’ve missed for the first time on the big screen. All films shown during the Summer Film Festival are spoken in English or include English subtitles.
The Substance is the new film by Coralie Fargeat (Revenge), featuring a bold comeback role from Demi Moore (Ghost) and rising star Margaret Qualley (Kinds of Kindness). The shock film of Cannes (where it won the award for Best Screenplay) offers a darkly comic take on the shelf life of female beauty in Hollywood.

Omschrijving

Elisabeth Sparkle is no longer the celebrity she once was. After being fired from her sports show and replaced by someone younger, she decides to use a black-market drug — a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.

Note: The Substance is a blend of body horror and satire and contains graphic, bloody imagery that may be triggering.
