"The Substance" has been one of the most talked-about films of 2024 ever since it had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Most of the conversation has centered around Coralie Fargeat's maximalist direction, Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley's performances, Dennis Quaid eating shrimp, and, of course, the film's awe-inspiringly disgusting makeup work. Special Makeup Effects Designer And Supervisor Pierre Olivier Persin was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on MUBI and is up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Thank you, and enjoy!
