My Take
Coralie Fargeat is one of those filmmakers who makes you feel slightly unhinged by the end of her movies — and I mean that as the highest compliment. Her debut Revenge (2017) announced her as a director with no interest in playing it safe: a brutal, neon-drenched rape-revenge film that refused to look away and demanded you didn't either. Then came The Substance (2024), and suddenly the whole world was paying attention — a deliriously grotesque body-horror satire of Hollywood's obsession with youth that won her the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes. Watching her work, you get the sense she's been storing up rage for years and found the most viscerally cinematic way to release it. French cinema has always had a fearless streak, and Fargeat is carrying that torch straight into your nightmares.
