Hunger

Director: Steve McQueen
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Liam Cunnigham
Year: 2008

**

The sensuality of this film is so intense I'd warn you if you have a weak stomach... at least, don't eat too much before.

What's strange and captivating is that it's horrifying but so... beautiful in its ugliness. The level of artistry somehow... ~glorifies~ the otherwise disgusting... things that are shown.

The 17 min shot is... fantastic. It is the crux of the film, and also the single piece of dialogue you'll hear uptil that point and after that point. There is a lot of silence... and it's perfect.

Hollywood might be a little scared seeing this film!

Rate: 9/10
