«Hunger» is the movie by Steve McQueen (2008), starring Michael Fassbender, Liam Cunningham and Stuart Graham, on Blu-ray.
Set in Maze prison in 1981, it tells of the imprisonment of Bobby Sands, an IRA member, and the hunger strike he led with other Block H prisoners to demand political prisoner status. The movie harshly depicts prison violence and the physical and emotional toll on inmates, without idealizing or simplifying the conflict.
This edition is Region B, with a 2.35:1 picture, DTS-HD 5.1 audio in English and French, and French subtitles. The movie runs 96 minutes.
For those interested in social and historical cinema and in Steve McQueen's filmography; the movie's rawness makes it suitable for adult audiences.
