Directed by Coralie Fargeat, The Substance has established itself in internet culture in record time. It started with the Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film wowed audiences and professionals alike.
In this film, famous actress Elizabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) injects herself with a substance that allows her to create a better version of herself (Margaret Cowell): younger, prettier, more desirable.
Since its release in the United States – on September 20 – the American public has embraced the feature film, parodying it at will on social networks through Halloween costumes or even drag queen shows. “I knew we had succeeded in our mission when I saw drag queens filming” says Demi Moore with AlloCiné.
Here are some of the funniest diversions spotted on the internet:
