Steve McQueen's Hunger is a gut-wrenching, visually evocative film about the 1981 Irish hunger strike. Focusing intensely on Bobby Sands' (played by Michael Fassbender) physical and emotional agonies, McQueen directs unflinchingly to create this gripping experience for the audience. The film received accolades from critics for its harsh realism and poetic visuals. Fassbender himself received much praise. McQueen's strong first film set the tone for all his subsequent successes, such as the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave (2013), marking him as one of cinema's most daring filmmakers.
