Alex Ritman Demi Moore’s leading actress win — and subsequent speech — at the Golden Globes for “The Substance” was one of the highlights of the night.

It was a win that catapulted the 62-year-old actress ever closer to her first-ever Oscar nomination, and for a hugely daring role as an aging Hollywood star in a shocking body-horror that has become one of the most talked about films of the year. “The Substance” director Coralie Fargeat was in the Globes audience at the Beverly Hotel, and while she may not have won best director or screenplay at the the ceremony, the honor for Moore helped underline her blood-soaked satire’s status as one of the wildest, boldest and most unexpected films in the awards race.

Speaking to Variety the morning after the night before (and after drinking “lots of water”), Fargeat discusses why Moore’s win was the ultimate prize for a film which take aim at society’s infatuation with age and looks in women while also hinting at her next project.

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, she also unveils the secrets to how she made “The Substance,” the practical effects involved (often with her inside them) and how she was able to recreate her version of Hollywood in the south of France. How did you feel when Demi won? It was the entire reason why I made this film!
