JAKARTA - KlikFilm, one of Indonesia's leading streaming platforms, has again presented quality films from international arenas. Two films that have won awards at various world film festivals, The Substance and Emilia Perez, will soon be released in Indonesian cinemas.

The Substance is scheduled to air starting October 16, 2024, while Emilia Perez will be present on November 1, 2024. Previously, these two films received a positive response when they attended the World Cinema Week film festival, so many film lovers were unable to watch this film, due to running out of tickets.

The film The Substance, starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Total, has gained great attention at several prestigious film festivals. Directed by Coralie Fargeat, the film features an existential theme with a touch of deep psychological horror.

The Substance has won a Palme d'Or nomination at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and won the Best Cinematography award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival thanks to its stunning visuals. In addition, Margaret Qualley also received a Special Mention for her performance as Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival 2024.

Meanwhile, Emilia Perez comes with a lighter but still attractive feel. The film stars Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana, and is directed by Jacques Audiard. Emilia Perez has also been recognized in various film festival events, including representing France competing in the category Best International Feature Film Academy Awards or Oscar 2025. The film combines fresh elements of action and comedy, with a story full of surprises.

Director of KlikFilm, Frederica expressed their enthusiasm to present these two films to the big screen of Indonesia.

"KlikFilm is always committed to providing quality shows to Indonesian audiences. The Substance and Emilia Perez are two films that have proven their quality at various international festivals, and we are sure that Indonesian audiences will really enjoy these works. This is part of our mission to introduce inspiring international films and appreciation to more viewers," he said.

These two films are expected to attract film lovers in Indonesia, with stories that are not only interesting but also in-depth message stratified. Both The Substance with psychological dramas and Emilia Perez with combinations of actions and comedy, offers a different cinematic experience from commercial films in general.
