A tiny bit of context
The film is a satirical body-horror story about an aging celebrity who uses an illegal rejuvenating procedure, with very gruesome consequences, and it’s become a cult favorite and awards contender since late 2024. Because of that buzz, it’s been pushed aggressively to platforms like Max and MUBI rather than remaining hard to find.
