The Hunger (1983)
9/10
A real little unknown jewel.
13 March 2024
I want to tell you right away that I am not a fan of Tony Scott at all and even if I know how to recognize in his singular style interesting points, I really can not catch. But what was not my surprise when I discovered "The Hunger" which is in my opinion the equivalent of Blade Runner at Ridley, in the sense that I see here his deepest, interesting and hypnotic film.

To start, Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon who share the poster is already a very good sign that does not refuse, but if in addition the direction and the scenario are excellent, how not to fall under the spell? In many ways the film is a real gem, it is as mysterious as it is dark and offers an absolutely fascinating story with tragic characters, all with an unprecedented treatment for the creatures of the movie.

I would not say more not to vent the surprise of the subject he deals with brilliantly, but it is certainly a film to discover urgently. I must admit that this film completely rehabilitated the director in my heart having truly fallen under the spell of this unique and fascinating work.

A fantastic film in every sense of the word, powerful and captivating to discover urgently.
