The Substance

Nominated for the Palme d’Or, and winner of Best Screenplay at Cannes Film Festival, this smart film is co-produced by the UK’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, with music from British composer Raffertie. Examining misogyny, ageism and the objectification of women’s bodies, this playfully pulpy horror is co-produced by London-based Working Title Films and St. Albans-based Blacksmith Pictures.
