"Irlanda del Nord, 1981. Il Primo Ministro Margaret Thatcher ha abolito lo statuto speciale di prigioniero politico e considera ogni carcerato paramilitare della resistenza irlandese alla stregua di un criminale comune. I detenuti appartenenti all'IRA danno perciò il via, nella prigione di Maze, allo sciopero "della coperta" e a quello dell'igiene, cui segue una dura repressione da parte delle forze dell'ordine. Il primo marzo, Bobby Sands, leader del movimento, decreta allora l'inizio di uno sciopero totale della fame, che lo condurrà alla morte, insieme a nove compagni, all'età di 27 anni. (Mymovies)."
"Alltag und Ausnahmezustand im Maze-Gefängnis nahe Belfast, wo die IRA-Häftlinge dem Bestrafungs- und Einschüchterungsprogramm des Wachpersonals ausgeliefert sind. 1981 treten sie in einen maßgeblich vom Aktivisten Bobby Sands initiierten Hungerstreik. Eindrucksvolles und beklemmendes Spielfilmdebüt des Künstlers Steve McQueen, der die Ereignisse weniger politisch kontextualisiert als vielmehr den Blick auf den geschundenen Körper richtet. Zunächst vom verstörenden Wechsel zwischen extremer Gewalt und großer Ruhe bestimmt, findet später eine Wendung vom Körperlichen zum Sprachlichen statt, bevor der Körper am Ende etwas Sakrales bekommt.

""With Hunger, British filmmaker and artist Steve McQueen has turned one of history's most controversial acts of political defiance into a jarring, unforgettable cinematic experience. In Northern Ireland's Maze prison in 1981, twenty-seven-year-old Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands went on a hunger strike to protest the British government's refusal to recognize him and his fellow IRA inmates as political prisoners. McQueen dramatizes prison existence and Sands's final days in a way that is purely experiential, even abstract, a succession of images full of both beauty and horror.
