The Hunger
Description
Bowie, Deneuve and Sarandon in a dazzling erotic thriller!
Here's a breathtaking combination of swirling color, provocative acting and horrifying suspense. "The Hunger is an eye-blindingly beautiful film," raved Vincent Canby, "more entertaining than [the New Wave hit] Diva!" (The New York Times)
Miriam and John Blaylock. Young, beautiful...and hungry. An eternal couple, sensual and irresistible. Catherine Deneuve is Miriam, the cool, icy beauty whose mystery was born in the waters of ancient Egypt. Legendary rock star David Bowie is John, her lover through the centuries, a man who shares Miriam's secrets until–inexplicably–he begins to age at an accelerated pace. Susan Sarandon is the brilliant scientist who tries to treat the supernatural–until she too is caught in the timeless web of blood and passion of The Hunger.
Set in a very chic, very modern Manhattan, The Hunger weaves a thrilling tale of gothic horror. Yet it is more than a spine-chilling scare. The Hunger is also an astonishing spectacle of illusion, a lyrical triumph that moves effortlessly from the sounds of city traffic to the awesome depths of hell. Masterfully directed by Tony Scott, "The Hunger is a rich and satisfying brew!" (Pia Lindstrom, NBC-TV)
