Description
We kick off our ode to the incomparable David Bowie, with the elegant neo-gothic vampire flick THE HUNGER.
Tony Scott’s ultra stylish
and sexy cult classic stars megababes Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie as Miriam and
John, a pair of vampire lovers who have been together since the 18th century,
and who now spend their nights stalking New York’s downtown club scene in
search of fresh blood. Reeling from the discovery of a terrible betrayal, John
seeks the help of a doctor, Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon) who soon finds
herself drawn into an erotically charged and seductively sinister power
struggle with Miriam. With its famously bold visual aesthetic—featuring
high-intensity lighting, expressionistic production design, and thrillingly
intimate perspectives—and the melodramatic intensity of the three lead
performances, the film is an ultra-stylish time capsule, an archetype of the
high-gloss, high-concept storytelling mode that prevailed in early 1980s
Hollywood. A fitting tribute to the ethereal magnetism of Bowie.
