"Vingança" (revenge) - mubi.

Filme da mesma diretora de "Substância", Coralie Fargeat. Esse é de 2017, história de uma garota abusada que quer a vingança do título. Não sei muito mais sobre o filme. Roteiros sobre retribuição violenta são simples, diretos e com muita ação.

depois de ver: o "body horror" e o humor sangrento da diretora aparecem bastante aqui. alguns maneirismos dela também. é uma boa base para o que vemos na potência máxima em "Substância".

my favorite thing about this movie is how jen continues to look vulnerable and upset the whole time, she's never a terminator she's a traumatized survivor doing her best.

‘Lee’ Review: A Remarkable Life at War

Kate Winslet embodies the tenacity of the photographer Lee Miller, who documented World War II for British Vogue.

By Lisa Kennedy Sept. 26, 2024

“Lee,” starring Kate Winslet as the photographer Lee Miller, is smartly trained on a span of 10 years: from 1938 until shortly after World War II.

Miller’s biography sounds nearly apocryphal. Born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., she was a model for Vogue, a student of the artist Man Ray (and his muse), and a fashion photographer whose work often reflected her own Surrealist sensibilities. Miller documented the war for British Vogue — then under the editorship of the English journalist Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough) — often in the company of the Life photographer David Scherman (Andy Samberg).

It would be hard for any narrative feature film to capture the many facets of the photographer responsible for some of the most indelible images of World War II. Winslet embodies those dimensions — as well as Miller’s propulsive drive — often with an askance look, a whetted remark, a resolve both stubborn and practical.

Alexander Skarsgard portrays Miller’s British husband, Roland Penrose. The two meet prickly, if teasingly so, at a gathering in the South of France that also includes French Vogue’s Solange d’Ayen (Marion Cotillard) and her husband, Jean (Patrick Mille), and the Surrealists Nusch and Paul Éluard (Noémie Merlant and Vincent Colombe). Some of these friends appear again at the war’s end; Cotillard is especially devastating as d’Ayen.

The movie begins with a framing device: Miller being interviewed by a journalist in her farmhouse in 1977, which allows her to tell her story. The director Ellen Kuras uses Miller’s actual photos and recreates a number of her more piercing images throughout the film — as a tribute, but also as a call to head to the archive. “Lee” feeds the desire to seek out more of her images. Winslet’s performance demands that we consider the force behind the camera.

Lee Rated R for disturbing images, language and nudity. Running time: 1 hour 56 minutes. In theaters.

Director: Ellen Kuras Writers: Liz Hannah, Marion Hume, John Collee, Lem Dobbs, Antony Penrose Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Kate Winslet, Andy Samberg, Andrea Riseborough, Josh O'Connor Rating: R Running Time: 1h 56m Genres: Biography, Drama, History, War

Well, it started off well, that’s something, right? In fact, the body horror satire The Substance was actually kind of interesting for the first half of its running time, before spinning out irretrievably and becoming just absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Which is kind of a shame, because in a rare current leading role, Demi Moore actually is very brave and terrific in a rather complicated role here. She plays Elisabeth Sparkle (really???), an aging former actress who has now become a household name as the host of a popular daily aerobics show on TV. (By the way, in what strange alternate universe are there still popular daily aerobics shows on TV in the new millennium? Most people these days get their exercise shows online.)

It has an interesting concept – how people hit a certain age and lose their confidence and are willing to do just about anything to regain their youth and beauty.

On her fiftieth birthday, Elisabeth is unceremoniously fired from her show by her complete slimeball of a boss because she has gotten too old. Dennis Quaid chews scenery as the exec so insanely much that his performance is almost distracting, however Quaid is a good actor and I’m sure he was told to go so far over the top.

After a shoehorned in automobile accident (which really seems to only have happened to get Elisabeth into the hospital), a young and handsome orderly gives her a thumb drive which has information about “The Substance,” a mysterious serum which can make anyone younger and more beautiful. Of course, the information never quite explains exactly what The Substance is, how it works, or what kind of side effects it has. (And believe me, it has some serious side effects.)

However, Elisabeth is intrigued and gets a kit to give it a try. Even once she has decided to try it, the instructions are rather vague and honestly, even from the very start it seems to be much more of a hassle than it is probably worth. You can only be the young version of you for seven days at a time, and then you have to spend seven days as the normal you. When the substance is taken, the younger, sexier version literally bursts out of the original body, through the back. (And since they are two different versions of the same person, the other version has to lay comatose for the week it is not the dominant being.)

The new improved version of Elisabeth is Sue (Margaret Qualley), a gorgeous, insanely built and naturally charming young woman. As Sue, she gets back the hosting job of the exercise show and becomes a star. (Again, in what odd alternate universe can someone become famous doing an aerobics TV show in the modern world?)

However, it becomes a battle of wills between the two versions of the woman, with Sue gets so wrapped up with herself that she starts to go over her allotted time, Elisabeth is the one who starts to pay for breaking the rules.

Most of this, again, makes little or no sense, but I was willing to give The Substance the benefit of the doubt – for a while. And then it all goes so, so, so wrong. As the gore and ridiculous plot points start to explode in on the characters (and the audience), the story becomes so fucking strange and over-the-top that eventually you’re either going to buy into it or not – and I most certainly did not.

The work of David Cronenberg and Quentin Tarantino obviously inspired Writer/director Coralie Fargeat. Sadly, her storytelling is not nearly as good as either of those filmmakers. She allows her film to go so far off the rails that by the time it was over (and it’s nearly two and a half hours long) I had lost most of my patience for these ridiculous people and the stupid harm they bring upon themselves and others and the world at large.
