Nothing Human Loves Forever.
Miriam Blaylock collects Renaissance art, ancient Egyptian pendants, lovers, souls. Alive and fashionably chic in Manhattan, Miriam is an ageless vampire. "Vampire" is not a word you'll hear in this movie based on the novel by Whitley Strieber (Wolfen). Instead, debuting feature director Tony Scott stakes out a hip, sensual, modern-gothic makeover. Catherine Deneuve radiates macabre elegance as Miriam, bless with beauty, cursed with bloodlust. David Bowie is fellow fiend and refined husband John. In love, in life, in longing they are inseparable. But when John abruptly begins to age and turns to a geriatrics researcher (Susan Sarandon) for help, Miriam soon eyes the woman as a replacement for John. The Hunger is insatiable.

As stylish as they come - 3.5 out of 5 (11/24/2004)
THE HUNGER is one of those films that just begs for DVD treatment.
Up until recently, all we had was the old VHS version from MGM, and if your movie collection happens to be as old as mine, then you also had it in the oversized silver box which was almost impossible to open.
But now we have a widescreen version of the debut film of Tony Scott (TOP GUN, MAN ON FIRE) and THE HUNGER makes it plain to see that his sense of visual style was there from the beginning. From the haunting night c
