Hunger (1966)
10/10
Stumbled upon this by accident, it looked interesting and it does live the expectations.

This whole movie was honestly amazing. It's hard to differentiate how much is our main character mentally-ill and how much he is just isolated from the world, so his isolation made him this way.

Acting pretty good, nobody turned a bad performance. Plot is well, as you can already tell, our main anti-villain lets just say, not having anything, and then getting everything he wished for, but the wishes turn into mass madness.

The only thing i think could of been better was the ending. The ending just seems a bit rushed, and it's not what i expected from this movie. Never the less, everything else is pretty good. I can tell you i was following the movie very patiently, and it does keep you sucked in. The movie clocks in at 2 hours, and it felt like 30+ minutes.

What makes this movie so good, is the fact that i can not tongue pin any movies that would be similar to this one. Maybe Seize the Day, Requiem for A Dream, Happiness? But i think all the movies i listed aren't as unique as this movie is. Not saying that the movies i listed aren't good, it's just they aren't as unique as this movie was.

Minus the ending, everything here works. The movie is a bit slow during the introduction, but it gets better and better. And you do are in such a mixed bag of emotion what to think of our main character.

Is this movie depressing? No, it's a drama about life it's not ultra sad. When i think of sad i think of Grave of the Fireflies or Triangle, those movies burn your eyes, this isn't that. But it is still pretty good.
