A once-celebrated television fitness star is pushed out of her career at fifty. She is offered a mysterious black-market treatment that promises a better, younger version of herself, with strict rules attached. A glossy, grotesque satire about image, ageing and self-hatred.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of the recent wave of female-directed body horror, it showed that a gory, openly excessive genre film could compete at Cannes and in the main Oscar categories.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a fable told in exaggerated images, where every sound, colour and camera angle is built to make you feel how a woman is looked at.
