The Hunger

Nothing Human Loves Forever.

Catherine DeNeuve, Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon and rocker David Bowie star in this stylishly gothic tale of an undying beauty, unending passion and their terrible cost--The Hunger.

Centuries-old Egyptian vampire Miriam (Deneuve) and her centuries-old lover, John (Bowie), feed on urban nightclub goers. But, while Miriam can bestow a very long life on her lovers, she cannot grant them her immortality. When John starts to rapidly age, Miriam seduces Sarah (Sarandon), a doctor researching premature aging.

Based on the novel by Whitley Strieber.

This neo-Gothic exercise in style and atmosphere is famous for its love scene between Miriam and Sarah.
