Quote:
Though undeniably an exercise in style over substance from the opening frames, Tony Scott’s languid exercise in gothic vampirism may disappoint those with little patience for arty overindulgence, though those with a taste for slow-burning decay may find The Hunger an involving study in the desperation for love and eternal youth. Vampire enthusiasts and Ann Rice followers drawn to the more romantic aspects of the mythology will likewise succumb to Catherine Deneuve’s seductive menace and David Bowie’s otherworldly charismatic performance, with Susan Sarandon offering a compelling turn as a doctor drawn in to the dark underworld while attempting to halt the vampiric Bowie’s rapidly accelerated aging process. The distinctly seductive trio certainly makes for an interesting screen presence if nothing else, and despite frequent long stretches in which little is happening in terms of action, they are consistently compelling to watch. The scenes in which Bowie withers away into old age are rendered especially chilling given not only the actor’s slowed and cautious mannerisms, but in some effectively convincing make-up by Dick Smith and co. In his feature directorial debut, Tony Scott had yet to develop a fully realized sense of storytelling, though by throwing out most preconceived notions of vampirism and focusing on the intense eroticism often merely hinted at in the majority of mainstream efforts, his inexperience actually benefits the film in terms of providing an eerily disconnected tone. Though the film does include an ample amount of bloodletting, the action here nevertheless flows like frozen molasses, a fact that may well leave many viewers with a hunger of their own.

An extraordinary debut from one of Hollywood’s most bankable UK ex-pats, Tony Scott’s Loving Memory (1970) follows an isolated brother and sister who live with their memories and a grisly secret. Critically acclaimed on its release Loving Memory was beautifully photographed by celebrated cinematographer Chris Menges – who captures perfectly the misty mystery of the Yorkshire moors – and feature a stunning, sinister performance from Rosamund Greenwood (Village of the Damned, The Witches) as a haunted innocent.

“Loving Memory” showcases talents you wouldn’t have guessed that Tony (then a film student going by “Anthony”) Scott had if you were only familiar with his post 70s Hollywood work. That’s not to say that he isn’t good at what he does, as he’s shown that he has a good deal of talent when it comes to loud, macho action films. Yet here we see a different side of the director. Gone are all special effects, and even most dialogue. Instead what we get is a slow, meditative film that showcases Scott’s ability to quietly and simply tell a story that is macabre, unsettling, and strangely sweet. To be sure, this is a very good film, and after finishing it, I couldn’t help but wonder what else Scott might have in him. Even those who find themselves turned off by his post “The Hunger” oeuvre should find themselves pleasantly surprised by this truly wonderful film.
