THE HUNGER

Miriam is a vampire who had married a young man three hundred years earlier, promising him eternal youth. But one day he begins to age rapidly until his death. The doctor who was trying to cure him, intrigued by the strange fate of the man, decides to investigate and discovers everything. Miriam also vampirizes the doctor, who, in a desperate act of rebellion, tries to commit suicide, but in vain, as it will be Miriam who dies. For some, it is a cult movie, especially due to the presence in the cast of stars like David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve, for others, a tedious vampire film that offers little or nothing new. The truth, as usual, lies in the middle: despite an excessively slow pace and little suspense, the film still reaches sufficiency thanks to the excellent photography and the rather inspired direction of Tony Scott. The film was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 1983.
