Eat, drink and engage with good company. All with other film lovers, like you. A weekend of unrepeatable experiences. MUBI FEST CHICAGO BETTER TOGETHER: A series of cinematic pairings that reflect and refract one another, exploring relationships as a shifting bond shaped by loyalty, desire, intimacy and power. Each film might echo or complicate the other, but they're always better together. THE SUBSTANCE  ACTIVATE YOUR SENSES For one screening only, experience THE SUBSTANCE like never before... in the spirit of cult classics like John Waters' Polyester, activate your senses with an exclusive scratch-and-sniff version of the film. With sharp wit and cathartic intensity, Coralie Fargeat turns toxic beauty culture inside out in her Oscar®-winning latest feature. Powered by a career-best performance from Demi Moore, The Substance fearlessly bulldozes its way into the midnight-movie pantheon and the feminist canon.
