Headline: Irish prisoners starve themselves in 1981
Noel's Take: Artist Steve McQueen announces himself as a filmmaker to be reckoned with in his debut feature, a mostly dialogue-free recollection of the various ways Irish prisoners tried to convince the Thatcher government to grant them status as political prisoners, not terrorists. The first half of the film follows one twitchy guard, one new prisoner, and one old hand as they endure day after day of shit-smeared walls, secret messages stashed in remote orifices, and routine beatings. The second half follows Bobby Sands (played by the remarkable Michael Fassbender) as he launches a new strategy to draw attention to his cause: a chain of hunger strikes, led by himself, with new prisoners to join in every two weeks. Linking the two halves of the film is a roughly 10-minute dialogue scene between Sands and his priest, followed by a roughly 5-minute monologue by Sands. Both are shot in single, static takes. In fact, my only strong qualm about Hunger is that McQueen sometimes seems to wield his directorial control a little tightly. At a certain point, those long takes start to look more like a stunt than the ideal way to convey the information McQueen means to; and at other times, lengthy journeys into the abstract or the mundane come off as a little self-indulgent. But honestly, when a director has the eye and the feel of a McQueen—who finds visual poetry in snow melting on bloody knuckles, or in the reflections in a puddle of piss—he earns the leeway to go down some blind alleys. Grade: B+
