Hunger (2008)

Pathé Distribution

And now, a prison movie from the other Steve McQueen — the masterful British director whose film 12 Years a Slave won the Best Picture Oscar in 2014.

His directorial debut, however, was Hunger, in which his frequent collaborator, Michael Fassbender, plays Bobby Sands, a real-life member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who led an IRA hunger strike and took part in a no-wash protest behind bars.

Hunger is a brutal, hypnotic film that skillfully captures the day-to-day dehumanization of the prisoners.
