Hunger
Very impressive movie about Bobby Sands' last few months. Tells the story from both sides (officers and prisoners). Uses lots of non-dialogue sequences and impressive images. Best scenes: the guy getting shot dead in front of his mother; the very long, static shot at the table; the washing out of the hallway; the guy standing against a wall in the snow; and a young Sands on holiday. Easily one of the best Irish movies from the last decade.
