The Hunger

A gorgeous film. Undeniably so. Positively draped and drenched in eroticism and stylistic, captivating atmosphere. Catherine Deneuve, as always, is absolutely mesmerizing. I adore, naturally, the themes of love, obsession, and immortality as both a gift and a curse. While I appreciate The Hunger’s slow, languid dreaminess, I struggled to fully and effectively engage with the story and found myself craving something a bit nastier, more perverse and psychologically intimate and multilayered.
