Hunger (2008) - Blu-ray Forum

I am wondering if Hunger is a good movie to blind buy?

i dont see any films in your collection that are similar. its a criterion film, which some love (me) and others dont. cinematography is emphasized, with sometimes long scenes with little or no action or dialogue. very different than many films in your collection.

i'd suggest a rental first.

Wow Wo. Whats in my collection some of them I got from the store I work at. I dont even have all the movies I own on here. I just got over 65 blurays now. I just put some of the movies up there. If you were to meet me I like comedy but not so much I really enjoy Drama. And I wish Seven Samurai would come out on bluray and city of god.

I bought it. Just because I own some bad movies does not mean I have good taste in movies. I thank you for your comments but I just get some blurays free from where I work.

Not exactly a blind buy then.

Hunger is powerful stuff, not for everyone.

Indeed.
Hopefully you will enjoy it, I found it to be a very emotional experience. The cinematography is astounding, but you must have patience for a film like this.

Movies to me can be disterbing to me. I was 13 when I watched Requiem For A Dream. My parents were upset that I did. But I really did enjoy the movie. I was about 16 when I saw boys dont cry and that was a fantastic movie but it was just emotional the whole time. And I dont really buy movies that are like hunger.

Trying to find a UK blu ray of Hunger. Does one exist? It seems crazy that a movie made and set in Northern Ireland doesn't have a blu ray here, or even the Criterion blu ray being region free.

Thread bump reminds me that the extended dialog scene in this is probably the greatest sequence in film this century for me.

There are French and German releases which will be region B friendly, but they don't have English subtitles in case you need them.

I thought this was a well made film, but it's a one time watch. Have no desire to ever revisit this film for the rest of my life.
