Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance on UHD, Blu-ray & DVD in March

3 March 2025

Global film distributor, streaming service and production company MUBI has announced that Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG-AFTRA and Academy Award-winning electrifying body-horror, The Substance, will be available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray later this month.

The Substance, a Working Title Films production, is written, directed, co-produced and co-edited by Coralie Fargeat (Revenge), and stars Demi Moore (G.I. Jane, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal), Margaret Qualley (Fosse Verdon – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Maid, Kinds of Kindness), and Dennis Quaid (Far from Heaven, The Rookie, The Day After Tomorrow).

Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twenty-something Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?

Coralie Fargeat’s multiple award-winning sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, The Substance is one of the most talked-about, thought-provoking and shocking films released last year.
