Synopsis: "An artistic masterpiece" (The Washington Post)... "The most shocking and important film of the year" (Esquire)... "Fearless & uncompromising" (The Daily Telegraph).... These are some of the responses to the first film by Steve McQueen (no, not that Steve McQueen), Hunger, a true story about the 1981 Irish hunger strike that changed a whole nation. Fassbender plays Bobby Sands, the Provisional Irish Republican Army guerrilla who led the infamous strike, which culminated into a 5-year protest by Republican prisoners in Northern Ireland. A sure bet to be one of the year's most acclaimed features, Hunger is also making news over its lengthy unbroken scene in which the camera remains in the same position for 17 straight minutes!
