Movie review- “Hunger” (2008) ****

I saw this at the Sydney Film Festival, and during the scene where a prison guard is shot in the head while visiting his mother at an old person’s home, some vile fool in the audience clapped. Passions still run high, even over twenty years after the hunger strikes. Stunning use of sound, and full of striking images. Most of the dialogue comes in one two handed sequence. Not exactly fun but clearly a work from people of great talent.
