HUNGER and EASY VIRTUE

HUNGER
JAM and Pathé are delighted to announce that we are commencing the online publicity for HUNGER, the directorial debut feature from acclaimed British visual artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen and winner of Camera d'Or Cannes Film Festival 2008, Sydney Film Prize Sydney Film Festival 2008 and Fipresci International Critics Prize at Cannes Film Festival 2008.

Kicking off with a special gala screening at this year's prestigious London Film Festival on October 19th 2008, HUNGER is an intimate portrayal of life in Northern Ireland's Maze Prison at the time of the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. The film explores what happens when the morality of people, whether prisoners or prison guards, is tested to the limit, when the body itself is used as a weapon for people not being heard.

Co-written by Enda Walsh and Steve McQueen, produced by Laura Hastings-Smith and Robin Gutch, HUNGER stars Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands, Liam Cunningham as Father Dominic Moran and Stuart Graham as prison officer Raymond Lohan. The cast also includes Brian Milligan, Liam McMahon and Lalor Roddy.

The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realizes Mrs Whittaker's game and sees that she must fight back if she's not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Mrs Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Before long, Mrs Whittaker's manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away. In a grand finale, where the secrets from Larita's past are revealed, she finally makes a break for freedom from the suffocating house.....

Easy Virtue is released nationwide 7th November 2008.
