Hunger 2008
Filmul are la baza evenimentele tulburatoare din preajma grevei foamei, tinuta intr-o inchisoare din Irlanda de Nord de catre membrii armatei republicane irlandeze, condusi de Bobby Sands. Filmul ofera o perspectiva asupra conditiilor in care corpul si mintea sunt impinse intr-o stare-limita, si a castigat premiul Camera d’Or la Cannes.
Description: The film stars Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) (Bobby Sands was not a member of the IRA he was a member of the Irish National Liberation Army but acted with the IRA as part of a broader Irish Republican movement within the Long Kesh prison where this movie occurs) member who led the 1981 Irish hunger strike and participated in the no wash protest (led by Brendan “The Dark” Hughes) in which Republican prisoners tried to win political status. It dramatises events in the Maze prison in the six weeks prior to Sands death. The film opens with prison guard, Raymond Lohan (Stuart Graham) preparing to leave for work; checking under his car for bombs, putting on his uniform in the locker room and ignoring the camaraderie of his colleagues.
