The Hunger - The Passion of Lovers (Bauhaus)

Some clips from my preferite movie "The Hunger" with David Bowie (my love!!XD) and Catherine Deneuve.

"Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie are rich, beautiful, and oh-so chic as denizens of the night. Dressed in sleek outfits and stylish sunglasses, they haunt rock & roll clubs on the prowl for young blood, whom they bring home to their impossibly luxurious mansion for a late-night snack. Being a vampire never looked more sexy, but there's a price: Bowie starts to age so fast he wrinkles up in the waiting room of a doctor's (Susan Sarandon) office. The agelessly elegant Deneuve, evoking Delphine Seyrig's Countess Bathory from Daughters of Darkness, is perfectly cast as a millenniums-old bloodsucker who seeks a new mate in Sarandon and seduces her in a sunlight-bathed afternoon of smooth, silky sex. Tony Scott's (Ridley's brother) directorial debut, adapted from the Whitley Strieber novel, revises the vampire myth with Egyptian inflections and removes all references to garlic and crosses and wooden stakes--these bloodsuckers can even walk around in the daylight--but the ties between blood and sex are as strong as ever. Scott's background as an award-winning commercial director is evident in every richly textured frame and his densely interwoven editing, but the moody atmosphere comes at the expense of dramatic urgency. At times the film is so languid it becomes mired in its hazy, impeccably designed visual style. In its own way, The Hunger is the perfect vampire film for the '80s, all poise and attitude and surface beauty. Sarandon talks candidly about the film in the documentary The Celluloid Closet. --Sean Axmaker "

Great movie! anyone glad the vampires in this movie are emotional yet unconventional for they don't burn in the sun, have razor blade sharp teeth instead of fangs etc and don't sparkle or attend high school?

@Johnlindsey289 AHAHAHAHAHA!!! You're right!!! They are real vampires!! Like Gary Oldman, Bela Lugosi.. *__*

@IoSonoTrash

You gotta have unconventional movie vampires once in a while to break that mould. The Hunger, The Keep (1983), Near Dark, Lifeforce (Alien vampires), Vampire Hunter D 1 & 2, Martin, Immortality (Wisdom of Crocodiles), Cronos etc. but no sparkling allowed.

@Johnlindsey289

I agree!!! I can't understand how's possible, people love shit-film with "sparkling vampire" and change the powerful, magic, darkest simbol of the Vampire in fucking fashion!!

@IoSonoTrash

You can accept unconventional vampires right but no sparkling allowed? sparkling is the creation of a horny mormon housewife's shower nozzle teenage masturbation fantasies. What if Edward Cullen met John Blaylock, Severen, Lifeforce's alien vampires, Martin etc.?

@Johnlindsey289
