Er du klar til en rejse ind i Hollywoods absurde skønhedsdilemma? Demi Moore giver os et chok med 'The Substance'!
Den franske instruktør Coralie Fargeat er tilbage med noget, der både skræmmer og underholder – hendes nyeste horrorfilm, "The Substance", som med sin lidt skæve men alligevel tankevækkende handling, belyser de grimmere sider af Hollywood. I filmen spiller Demi Moore en aldrende skuespillerinde, der får fat i et sortmarked præg af en fortryllende substans, der lover at give hende en yngre, mere perfekt version af sig selv. Det lyder som en drøm for mange, men som så ofte i Hollywood, kommer der en pris for skønhed.
Fargeat hylder sin flair for det groteske og sætter fokus på problemerne ved aldersdiskrimination og sexisme, som stadig er mere gengangere end undtagelser i filmverdenen. "The Substance" er ikke blot en gyser – det er også en satire, der bider til benet med sin skarpe sociale kommentar om, hvordan samfundet behandler kvinder, der overstiger en bestemt alder. Hvad startede som en dramatisk fortælling, udvikler sig hurtigt til en hæsblæsende rejse ind i en forkvaklet skønhedsnorm.
Filmens slutning efterlader publikum i chok og forundring over, hvad der sker med Sue, spillet af Moore. Det er en dybt fascinerende undersøgelse af, hvad det betyder at blive gammel i en verden, der glorificerer ungdommelighed. Samtidig viser Fargeat, hvordan skønhedens fængsel kan være en besættelse, der koster mange af vores værdier og ægte selvbilleder.
"The Substance" har allerede begejstret publikum på Cannes-festivalen og har vundet flere priser, herunder bedste manuskript og Publikumsprisen ved TIFFs Midnight Madness. Som et ekstra pift til denne spændende nye film, har Demi Moore endnu engang formået at forbløffe sin generation af fans med sin modige og uforbeholdne præstation.
