The Hunger

  • Dir: Tony Scott

  • UK, 1983, English, 97mins, DCP

  • Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, David Bowie

Rebranding the 18th-century vampire myth in 1980s New York, Tony Scott charges his directorial debut with chic modernity and visual sensations. Played by the immaculately beautiful Deneuve and Bowie as a modern couple dependent on human blood for sustenance, their centuries-old romance gradually deteriorates as he battles with his mortality, while she preys on a doctor as her new companion. Climaxing at a sensual seduction and lovemaking scene between Deneuve and Sarandon, this cult classic exhibits an ornate aesthetics under flashy camerawork, YSL fashion, and post-punk music that earn its own immortality in hype culture.
