Hunger, Steve McQueen 2008
"I have my belief. And in all its simplicity, that is a most powerful thing."
Harrowing. Absolutely harrowing, yet also a beautiful, powerful, sincere and ridiculously good debut feature film by Steve McQueen. As this man tellingly describes it, "Hunger occupies the rare class of very good films that nobody in their right mind would subject themselves to more than once".
The first shot above is from a brilliant, dialogue-rich scene which contains a single 17-minute shot of a conversation between Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham.
