Coralie Fargeat injects The Substance into our brains

September 27, 2024 Jeff Goldsmith

For your reading pleasure, please enjoy an excerpt of half the article on the Backstory blog featuring our interview with writer-director Coralie Fargeat on creating her wildly gory, yet sublime flick The Substance.

Fargeat chatted extensively about her approach to writing this nightmarish tale and directing it too!

We hope you enjoy this preview from our new Issue #53 — which also features two Speak No Evil cover stories!

(Note: These images are straight out of our magazine which looks great on an iPad in the free Backstory App or here at backstory.net on a desktop or laptop – if you’re viewing this on a phone we advise you to turn it horizontally so you can read the piece easier)
