The movie is showing today in the following version: German version. We would have given Demi Moore all the other awards as well as the Golden Globe. A darkly comic and exuberant film about glamorous youth mania.
The television career of fitness celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) comes to an abrupt end when she is fired by her producer. Hesitantly, she seizes the opportunity offered by a mysterious new miracle cure: The Substance. A single injection is all it takes and she becomes - for a precisely limited period of time - a youthfully beautiful woman in her mid-twenties called Sue (Margaret Qualley). The cinematography, editing, look and visual design are wickedly stylish and make THE SUBSTANCE an additional event.
