Hunger follows life in the Maze Prison, Northern Ireland with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. With an epic eye for detail, the film provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the uttermost limit.
Amazing acting. What dedication to the art. There is a scene with the main character and the Preist that is just mesmerizing. Some scenes were difficult to watch due to the horrific way people were treated.
Brilliant and beautiful. Amazing film, but tough to watch.
