I’ll keep this one short: if you ever fancy watching the most fucked up film of all time, go and watch The Substance. I watched it last night, again at The Barbican, again with John. Frankly, I left the cinema wondering what the hell I had just seen. It is a gratuitous, horrifying film. It’s essentially about vanity and one woman’s desire to retain her youth and celebrity, but it’s played out in a way which is both obscene and ingenious. It is the type of film which is repugnant and awesome at the same time. Mark Kermode sums it up far better here. Check the Substance out….if you have the stomach.
