Guillermo giving Coralie her flowers is such a beautiful moment - especially as a fan of both artists. These two are absolute powerhouses of cinema - I hope to be able to see so much more of their art.
I love how the film isn't afraid of going over the top. It makes Elisasue as unforgettably monstrous as possible, and it trusts that we'll still feel sympathy for her and understand the emotional truth binding it together. Just like in The Fly and Carrie, the body horror and gore can turn up to 11 and can even be fun and cathartic, but you never forget that at the center, it's a tragedy and a character driven emotional journey.
Shout out to the actor in the ElizaSue suit (was it Margaret Qualley?) She REALLY ensured that her hurt feelings, fear & vulnerability came through in that scene at the New Year's show
guillermo articulated well the most interesting parts about this piece, im glad he expressed it to her, i love the excess yet human core of the movie, an astounding job in how the story is constructed without heavy reliance on dialogue yet never alienating the audience (except when intentionally so)
Cuando la admiración se comparte entre dos seres humanos que se ven como iguales es tan hermoso, sobre todo con dos personajes tan relevantes. Me encanta la frase de Guillermo al final "Thank you for being savauge, may you never never give up. Never domesticate" - Un hombre quien comprendió que lo que hizo Coralie en esta película es valiente porque creó una narrativa fuera de la norma, un film que sacude la mente de quien lo vea
Two things 1. The Substance is easily my favorite movie this year though i havent seen Robert Eggers Nosferatu yet so... 2. I love GTD, i havent seen all his films, but i just love his vibe, passion, and would love to be honored to have a conversation like this with him one day
@@imacg5 it's a shame they couldn't give him a little more time to get things done when he was making the Hobbit movie. it would have been soooo good. LOTR is a great world for him to put his touch too.
If So then I (Strongly) Suggest Coralie's Earlier Superior Work; Revenge. Makes this one look Forced, Poorly Conceived, Sloppy, and not really very well acted nor executed... . :/
hearing her perspective and the way she approaches film making/story telling was just incredible to hear. i loved this movie in all its grotesque vulnerabilities
Thank god this film wasn’t overly explained; I agree with the fairy tale comparison and we need more of that. Not everything has to have a rhyme or reason! Just enjoy! 🙏🏽
Saw The Substance and had my jaw opened and couldn’t believe what i was watching, great film! GDT is godlike. i read Mary Shelley 1818 Frankenstein because of him. might be his Magnum Opus cant wait 🥹
This is the first movie in a long time for me that I absolutely loved, I was blown away!! The visuals, the actors, the cinematography. Everything was amazing and it’s so impressive that even with such a little dialogue, the movie made you feel so much and really reflect on your own life and it almost felt like a giant black mirror episode on steroids, I can’t wait to see more from this Director! Amazing job to the casting crew truly!
Brilliant movie. I've already seen it three times, showing it to a bunch of friends who have all sung its praises also. Best film of 2024 for me. It was exactly what i wanted and more!
The substance is a great body horror satire. The meta commentary on the pitfalls of celebrity culture and mainstream success is vividly illustrated through the narrative. Editing, colour grading, production design, sound design and performances are excellent. It was an uncomfortable experience but I was fully engaged, the director delivered on everything. The most defining quality is Demi Moore, I’ve not seen any of her work in years. She was brilliant in this. A career best performance for sure.
Guillermo is a Too Fimaker and see how he is humble enoght to learn from other successes . Remember his interview from the another round movie? and his interview with the Cohen Bros? my respect and an admiration to this Caballero Mexicano 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
For Those Singing the Praises of this film; checkout Revenge, Enemy, Detour (Christopher Smith), Brimstone, 3000 Years of Longing, The Survivalist, possibly Savages, along with A Lonely Place To Die,
substance is the best film of 2024 i have seen. One of the two best female directed films of all time. Hoping for lots of golden globe noms for it in the morning.
Hey @Mubi can we get an unedited version of this? The cuts are super awkward to say the least with sound pops on the audio, and I feel like we're missing vital parts of questions and responses.
@shadowaccount Are you gonna bark all day lil' doggie or are you gonna bite? wtf do you think is the most Kubrick/DePalma movie not made by them and the most punk rock horror movie since Terrifier 2 or ever? You're just an impotent a-hole until you poop out your own opinion
Quite instantly I had an association which very likely is only based on two formalities which are: not bothering about the probability, and the technicality of a human body based fountain propelling stuff from inside of that body. The Pythons did the vomit, Fargeat does the blood.
The dark cloud of cinema is growing. The biggest puzzle in these "contributions" is the Coen brothers and Bardem. A duo of excellence crashed and burned with Bardem. NCFOM has an ending a film student wouldn't show. They never made a single bad movie until this one.
The idea that aging and work is controversial - to women only - has to do with our European history. Our mass murder spree began locally before expanding out onto the globe. It was specifically aimed at women. The Wise She - "Witch".
This movie is disturbing at the highest level wtf man. But beyond the weird, the themes are well articulated and the journey you go through of how the young and old should interact. You are the same person. Not watching it again cause that movie was super disturbing
watch it again, it put me off at first but there are many small details to pick up at second viewing, and now im super familiar with it and not weirded out by it anymore, there are great movie reactions on youtube that are worth watching too
I still wonder why the main character is so hollow: doesn't have a voice, a history, relationships, anything. It's just a successful body. It's the kind of character you expect in a bad script.
facts like that aren't needed to get her character. she's lonely, hates herself, is nostalgic for her past in the limelight, willing to take immense risks to appear beautiful, wants to appease the man in charge so everyone will "love" her, etc. paying attention to her actions instead of her background is what will lead to understanding her as a person
@@npc_undead Nobody wants to get old and lose your job, it's nothing special, it's kind of universal. But any body horror movie would focus in the character first so the viewer could relate to what happens to that body later. Even the loneliest Kaurismäki character had more human interaction that this character. It's the only thing I didn't like of the movie. But it's a core thing.
We see Elizabeth through the lense she sees herself through. She very clearly does not have family and/or friends she is in contact with, and the only value she can see in herself is what society had given her. And therefore her value faded with her relevancy. We don’t need to know more about the character’s history to understand the film and her struggles. This is not a biopic, this is an exploration of human emotions. It’s a pretty stylised satire.
The substance won't win the oscar, it hurts what americans love the most, their vanity pride. Although, we don´t give a damm about oscars, it's just a waste of time, seeing geezers telling us what is right and wrong.
Writing characters with no subtext is how you write for a child audience. Children live unconscious lives until adolescence so any drama is archetypal. You can't get away with that kind of flat form once they've reached adolescense, at least in the West...until now, evidently.
Hack backs hack. Such harmony.....at the end of what once was Western cinema. Every del Toro flick was an uproarious joke. I have more respect for Roger Corman as he was smart enough to not take himself seriously.
Hellboy's director? How very "aesthetically" and audience (under) age appropriate. Europe thinks that because America can't make movies anymore that they're going to fill that void. Only for laughs.
It was ok, but not the revelation everyone is making it out to be. Sadly, it ultimately fails in what it's trying to accomplish on the grander scale of meta commentary, similar to Joker 2. GDT probably has a bit of a crush on her, so hes naturally a bit jaded (biased even) here...still, Im still glad these types of films can get widespread promotion, but it is mainly because of the big mainstream names attached. I dont think this would have done well if it had no names attached, but it would have had more of an impact.
The narrative and storytelling is horrendous. Though the visuals and sounds are stimulating (until they aren’t), it’s obvious she spent more time considering the superficial as opposed to conceiving a miraculous aesthetic around a powerful story. Everything this film claims to confront and engage is just a literal recreation of the violence- on end at excess. The subject matter is handled extremely flatly and relies on prosthetics to fill those intellectual gaps. It’s truly not as brilliant as all are praising. It’s just highly visceral in its visual stimulation, but it lacks visceral intellect. Not groundbreaking to engage the senses in a medium that is literally built on engaging the senses. How brave.
@JaneDoe-b5v I've finally seen it, they had NOTHING to say about the movie itself. Guillermo was happy to get some cheap applause after saying only women were making good films at the moment. Wow... 2024, congrats Guillermo "finally someone has the balls to say it" he really put his career on the line with this one. I didn't like the movie (too long & it's a V1 of a script) The movie starts after 1h38 min. Come on...
@@jpch8814 I would say it's POOR satire. They tried to work with the aesthetics of a B-movies. But it's done sooooo badly and ineptly, literally a waste of time.
@@sasatyrla6it definitely wasn't made with the aesthetics of a B-film, so there's no question of doing it badly. Just because a film is body horror doesn't mean it's aspiring to B-film status lol
It didn’t strike me like that watching the interview. Keep in mind she isn’t talking in his mother tongue, so the simplicity of her speech could be attributed to that. Having said that, actions speak louder than words, and “The Substance” is a great film.
"may you never domesticate" is such a great way of saying "stay Feral, i love it."
He has such a way with words, he has a ton of great quotes like that 😁
Guillermo does not give a fuck about the audience💀
What a good interviewer
he's just doing his job. chill.
He knows it is not his time to shine. All his attention is focused on what Coralie has to say. The result: a great conversation.
Guillermo giving Coralie her flowers is such a beautiful moment - especially as a fan of both artists. These two are absolute powerhouses of cinema - I hope to be able to see so much more of their art.

his imagination is wide

Game recognising game!! Love seeing these two interact!! Del Toro was a great interviewer for Coralie, their vibes were complementary.
That part 👏🏽🥹🙌🏽
So excited for whatever Coralie has in store for us in the future. I wanted to cry when ElisaSue said "It's me!" The film was truly brilliant.
That part made me so sad! The audience at the theater i was at was laughing and I was lowkey about to cry!

One of my favorite directors of all time (GDT) interviewing one of the Best Directors of 2024 for the best film of 2024. Iconic

Love them both. What a treat this is. Thank you mubi.
my partner and i were blown away by this ! amazing, dark comedy and fab body horror ! the twist of the younger self had my jaw dropped lol

Brilliant creator! Can’t wait to see what she does next.
It would be great to post interviews and behind-the-scenes films on the platform. 💙💙💙
Te quiero mucho Memo 🫂
I absolutely loved this film. It is one my favorites now!!!!
GDT and Coralie Fargeat, you know that was sick 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I found The Substance to be so much of an anti-Cinderella.
The great Guillermo del toro , both are very talented i love the substance ❤
For Those Singing the Praises of this film; checkout Revenge, Enemy, Detour (Christopher Smith), Brimstone, 3000 Years of Longing, The Survivalist, possibly Savages, along with A Lonely Place To Die,

Amazing movie!
THE SUBSTANCE was the best film of 2024
Her movie Revenge is also amazing
savage is an understatement, its was fucking metal, i loved this movie so much, especially the ending.
Never thought I’d see Papy McPoyle interview Coralie Fargeat
Who needs a Snow White live action when you have The Substance.
Aside from being a scifi and thriller the substance was filmed in an aesthetic way. I enjoyed the movie alot. Share recommendations like this
Obsessed 💚👄💚
I hope Demi Moore wins her first Oscar for The Substance.
She is so nervous to talk to Guilermo!
7/10 it reminded me of The Fly movie in a way.
10/10 the substance
