DVD Reviews of Hunger [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]
DVD Review: Exceptional
Summary: 5 Stars
What do I write about first? That the story of Bobby Sands's hunger strike speaks to human nature's worst and best actions? Or that this is the finest piece of art cinema ever offered to the public? The viewer is brought into the prison, the violence, with barely a word. Only amazing visuals and sounds place us in the scenes. Interviews with director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender suggest the point of the film is not to be a political film that takes sides in the conflict in N.I., as their intent was to be sympathetic as well as critical of all sides by portraying the situation with realism. And the realism is not for the faint of heart. Beyond the visualization of the hunger strike, I think this film would appeal to anyone who is studying the art of film making because it breaks conventions of Hollywood quick edits, fast pacing, ambitious scores and dialogue-driven plots. Uncomfortably, we are given plenty of time to take in each scene. Often this is beautifully rendered with close-ups and exquisite lighting. Remarkably similar to viewing extraordinary paintings that powerfully communicate our human history.
This version is in PAL format which can be played on computers by changing the region of the dvd player.This is unnecessary if a multi-region dvd player is available.

Description of Hunger [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Featurette, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: 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.Davey (Brian Milligan), a new IRA prisoner arrives at the gaol, following his refusal to wear the prison uniform, he is labeled "non-cooperative." His new roommate, Gerry (Liam McMahon), has smeared the cell with faeces from floor to ceiling and we witness their resistance to the prison regime.Sands is the focus of the film. He deeply believes in the cause that he was imprisoned for and in the righteousness of dying for political prisoner status. In one of the film's most notable scenes Sands debates the morality of the hunger strike with a visiting priest (Liam Cunningham).Yet to be released in the UK [31st October 2008], the film has premiered at Cannes, where it opened the official sidebar section, Un Certain Regard, sparking both walkouts and a standing ovation.
