The Hunger description Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie are rich, beautiful, and oh-so chic as denizens of the night. Dressed in sleek outfits and stylish sunglasses, they haunt rock & roll clubs on the prowl for young blood, whom they bring home to their impossibly luxurious mansion for a late-night snack. Being a vampire never looked more sexy, but there's a price: Bowie starts to age so fast he wrinkles up in the waiting room of a doctor's (Susan Sarandon) office. The agelessly elegant Deneuve, evoking Delphine Seyrig's Countess Bathory from Daughters of Darkness, is perfectly cast as a millenniums-old bloodsucker who seeks a new mate in Sarandon and seduces her in a sunlight-bathed afternoon of smooth, silky sex. Tony Scott's (Ridley's brother) directorial debut, adapted from the Whitley Strieber novel, revises the vampire myth with Egyptian inflections and removes all references to garlic and crosses and wooden stakes--these bloodsuckers can even walk around in the daylight--but the ties between blood and sex are as strong as ever. Scott's background as an award-winning commercial director is evident in every richly textured frame and his densely interwoven editing, but the moody atmosphere comes at the expense of dramatic urgency. At times the film is so languid it becomes mired in its hazy, impeccably designed visual style. In its own way, The Hunger is the perfect vampire film for the '80s, all poise and attitude and surface beauty. Sarandon talks candidly about the film in the documentary The Celluloid Closet. --Sean Axmaker |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | i love it but i can see why others would hate it |
| this movie's really good, it's arty, scary, gothic, and to top it off bauhaus is in the begining. it's a really depressing movie but that doesn't take away from anything it just makes you love the movie that much more, but it's alittle hard to follow sometimes and the vampires don't really do anything cool (they feed by cutting you with there cute little necklesses and then sucking on the wound) but it still works. there's mad chicks making out too. i could see why some people would hate it though, it's slow sometimes, the artiness can be alittle much sometimes, and it's really really depressing. but if you're into that sort of thing this movie is perfect for you (i loved it i stole it from hollywood video and am still collecting late fees). | |
