The Hunger (1983)

Set in New York City, a centuries old vampire (Catherine Deneuve) and her latest lover (David Bowie) have been together for over 200 years when he suddenly starts to age rapidly. He attempts to seek help from a researcher (Susan Sarandon) doing work on the aging process but it's too late and his fate is sealed. Based on the novel by Whitley Streiber and directed by Tony Scott (TOP GUN). An elegant and chic horror film where style supersedes substance. Shot all in blues and smoky gray by Stephen Goldblatt (CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR), it's easy to get seduced by the film's stylish surface but eventually, the film abandons its own set of rules for a misguided finale. The film's highlight is an erotic lesbian love scene with Deneuve and Sarandon played to Sous Le Dome Epais from Delibes' LAKME. With Willem Dafoe, Dan Hedaya, Cliff De Young, Ann Magnuson, John Pankow, Beth Ehlers and Suzanne Bertish.
