Editorial
Before 12 Years a Slave won the Best Picture Oscar® and Small Axe stole everyone’s hearts, Steve McQueen turned out this intense, brutal, and shattering tale of defiance. Carried by a breakout performance from Michael Fassbender, Hunger was awarded the Camera d’Or at Cannes. A blistering debut.
