The Hunger (with Kaycee Felton-Lui)

from Rotten Rewind · host rotten rewind

We're kicking off our 3rd Annual Rotten Horrors™ with two podcast favorites! Writer and one of our in-house Queer Cinema commentators Kaycee Felton-Lui joins us for a look back at Tony Scott's feature debut "The Hunger," starring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon. At the time of its release in 1983, Scott's debut was panned and written off as a lurid exercise in style over substance. Today, it's regarded as a midnight classic and one of the most important debuts of the 20th century. Featuring the iconic pairing of Bowie and Deneuve, haunting cinematography by Stephen Goldblatt, impossibly cool vibes, and one of the most unforgettable sex scenes in Hollywood history, "The Hunger" is a queer horror classic that announced Scott as one of the definitive voices in American cinema.
