For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Substance (2024), a feminist body horror starrig Demi Moore as a fading Holywood star who decides to use a strange new drug that induces shapeshifting, to create a younger version of herself. What could possibly go wrong? Comparisons to The Thing (1982) and The Fly (1986) are common. Director is Coralie Fargeat, who is otherwise best-known for the similarly-themed Revenge (2017), which we have not watched; this is her best-regarded film to date, and has already been receiving some awards buzz. An excellent camrip is already available, so we’ll check it out.

After that is Drifting Clouds (1996), a romantic dramedy from Aki Kourismaki, the most renowned filmmaker from the bleak, icy wasteland known as Finland. A married couple find themselves both out of work when a recession hits Helsinki; they must both do whatever they can to earn money. Darkly humorous antics follow, in typically Nordic deadpan style. God damn capitalism. This is the highest-rated Finnish film on Letterboxd, and will be the first Finnish film ever shown on Hextube.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
