Hunger

The most astonishing film I saw at TIFF last year, and one of the most interesting films from recent memory, is the British artist Steve McQueen's film Hunger. The film is ostensibly about the six week hunger strike of a charismatic and fanatical IRA operative, Bobby Sands, though it touches on many issues in the course of its laconic narrative.

I highly recommend this film and think you will be blown away by its apparent authenticity and intensity. It wont be playing for long so catch it this week if you can...
