The Substance is a body-horror thriller starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley .

Director Coralie Fargeat and cinematographer Benjamin Kracun talk to Vanity Fair about the making of the film.

They detail the key moments from the film, including the "mental space" of the scene.

The film stars Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid as Elisabeth Sue in a battle of self-confessionality in Paris .

Fargeat: "The way you see yourself is more influenced by everything around you than by the reality of who you are" The film is set in the backdrop of Sue’s Los Angeles , with a comically oversized billboard.

The Substance was shot with a real backdrop and no LED screens or green screen.

Fargeat 's primary challenge was maintaining the stark cinematography on the sort of makeup that’s typically not put under such a harsh spotlight.

Elisabeth starts aggressively aging as Sue begins to overstay her time in the world.
