Hunger by Steve McQueen

If you need a movie to cheer you up, Hunger is not it! I just saw this last Sunday, a brilliant film on Bobby Sand's hunger strike in the early eighties. McQueen portraits the Maze, the prison where IRA captives were held, with almost no dialogue, but with loads of impressive and nauseating images. No need to take pop corn, you won't eat it.
