the hunger (1983)


"Are you making a pass at me, Mrs. Blaylock?"
Miriam Blaylock (Catherine Deneuve), is an independently wealthy and ancient vampire, living well in New York with her partner John (David Bowie). But John suddenly starts aging and seeks out Dr Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon), who is conducting research into aging. When John wastes away, Miriam moves onto Sarah, hoping to make the Dr her new companion.
When art house meets the vampire film it creates an ultra-stylish and cooly emotionless film, looking at love and companionship. Even vampires get lonely.
