from The Next Best Picture Podcast · host Evergreen Podcasts
"The Substance" had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it shocked and stunned the festival audience, ultimately earning the Best Screenplay prize for Director/Writer Coralie Fargeat. It would go on to play in the Midnight Madness section at the Toronto International Film Festival where it would go on to win the People's Choice Award for the special section of the film festival. Only her second feature film (following "Revenge"), Fargeat has proven herself to be a powerhouse storyteller, using every tool at her disposal as a filmmaker for maximum impact on the audience. Her latest is no different, and she was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about her experience writing, directing, and unleashing the body horror film onto the world, how she feels about the reception it has received, the casting process, what went into the astonishing makeup effects and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from MUBI. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
