In 1890, Pontus, a starving writer, wanders the streets of Christiania in search of love and a chance to get his work published. Based on an acclaimed novel by Nobel Laureate Knut Hamsun.
A triumph of Scandinavian cinema that was canonized in its native Denmark, Hunger is one of the country’s biggest international successes since Carl Dreyer. Stark, implosive, and beautifully shot, this character study of a starved writer won Per Oscarsson the Best Actor prize at Cannes in 1966.
