The Hunger Artist Trailers

Set in a city both past and present, on a deserted street where only the distant sounds of life blow by. The Hunger Artist stands alone, locked in his cage. Once famous and adored by the crowds, he now performs alone.

Reviews
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
george_hull The Hunger Artist is an incredible work of art, plain and simple. There are triumphs of stop motion animation and character acting here that had my jaw on the floor. The passion for the craft exudes every second of this work and clearly Mr. Gibbons is a master. This is the type of inspired creativity that the medium may only see once a decade or more.Bravo.
