The Hunger is a 1983 British erotic horror film directed by Tony Scott, and starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon. It is the story of a love triangle between a doctor who specialises in sleep and ageing research and a vampire couple. The film is a loose adaptation of the 1981 novel of the same name by Whitley Strieber, with a screenplay by Ivan Davis and Michael Thomas.
The film was screened out of competition at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.
Miriam Blaylock (Catherine Deneuve) is a beautiful and dangerous immortal vampire, promising specially chosen humans eternal life as her vampire lovers. As the film begins, her vampire companion is John (David Bowie), a talented cellist whom she married in 18th century France. The film opens in a night club in New York, to a live performance from Bauhaus. There they connect with another young couple who are brought home and fed upon by slashing their throats with a bladed Ankh pendant. The bodies are disposed of by an incinerator in the basement of John and Miriam's elegant New York townhouse, where they pose as a wealthy couple who teach classical music. The only student shown is a young tomboy violinist named Alice Cavender (Beth Ehlers).

D'apres un roman de Whitley Strieber. Classy vampire couple: Deneuve (en YSL) & David Bowie. She's the powerful one; she gives "immortal life" to any human being she's in love with. Of course, the time (and only the time...) she's in love with ;) Surprise - surprise: what if ... the beloved one dies before her love for him ? https://www.wattpad.com/286865756-uly... Soundtrack: fragment of Flower Duet ~ Anna Netrebko & Elina Garanca (Lakmé by Delibes)
Sensual vampire story stars rock legend David Bowie ("The Man Who Fell to Earth," "The Last Temptation of Christ") as an ailing centuries-old vampire whose fanged-lover, Catherine Deneuve ("Indochine," "Repulsion," "Belle de Jour"), seeks a new partner and seduces a mortal medical researcher (Oscar-winner Susan Sarandon -- "Dead Man Walking," "Stepmom," "The Client"). Directed by block-buster helmer Tony Scott ("Top Gun," "Crimson Tide," "Enemy of the State"). With Dan Hedaya ("Clueless," "The First Wives' Club," "Marvin's Room") and a cameo by Willem Dafoe ("The English Patient," "Platoon," "The Last Temptation of Christ").
Miriam (Catherine Deneuve) y Sarah (Susan Sarandon): Lakmé y Mallika. Miriam toca al piano el pasaje del "Dúo de las flores" de la ópera "Lakmé" de Leo Delibes y ese momento de sensualidad contenida es suficiente aval para disfrutar de esta primera película de Tony Scott. "¿Cómo se llama esa pieza? Es Lakmé, de Delibes. Lakmé es una princesa brahmana de la India, tiene una esclava llamada Mallika. En el jardín mágico, cantan cómo siguen el arroyo hasta que nace... deslizándose sobre el agua. ¿Es una canción de amor? Como dije, era cantada por dos mujeres. Parece un canto de amor. Entonces, supongo que lo es."

She hates bein' on her own, but she does her best
Empty nights create the hunger for love and tenderness
She spends so much time alone
She says it makes her wonder
If she'll ever find someone who'll make her feel alive
And satisfy the hunger
He always reads a lot at night, but he's gettin' tired of it
An empty house deepens desire for true companionship
When he sees himself in the mirror, he don't look no younger
He just keeps on fightin' the fear that'll he'll go through life
And not satisfy the hunger
Oh the hunger, the need for lovin' arms
Oh the hunger, longing for contentment of the heart
She picks up a second job at an all night diner
Anything that she can do to fill the empty hours
Then by chance her destiny he's there across the counter
Their lives are changed by what they see in each other's eyes
They recognize the hunger
Oh the hunger, the need for lovin' arms
Oh the hunger, longing for contentment of the heart
The hunger
Oh, the hunger
