An 
company.
A man seeks to satisfy his every desire until his self indulgence gets the better of him. At a restaurant, he eats and eats and eats and eats and eats... methodically evolving into a multi-mouthed eating machine that consumes everything in sight (example -- one mouth gobbled a pig, whole). In the end this all leaves him a contented obese blubbery mess. But then.....
Considered one of the earliest works of computer animation, I originally saw this film on PBS in 1976. It was/ is a unique commentary about gluttony. Is this showing that this is all right or wrong? My initial response as I watched the character's gluttony progressively strip away his humanity without him even caring seemed to indicate yes But the ending was chilling; showing the contrast between our world and that of the world of HUNGER (hence the title). The characters fate especially was unsettling. The producer based the film's chilling conclusion on one of the predictions of NOSTRODAMUS:
ON THE PIPE OF THE AIR-VENT FLOOR: SO HIGH WILL THE BUSHEL OF WHEAT RISE, THAT MAN WILL BE EATING HIS FELLOW MAN.
