Artist turned filmmaker Steve McQueen makes a stunning debut in this powerful film that marks one of the best debuts in years. McQueen brings new and fresh vision to cinema that's art as well without compromising any emotional content for the sake of art. It's set in 1981 where IRA prisoners are brutally treated at a prison without having a political status. To protest their condition, the leader Bobby Sands starves himself to death. The film is hard to watch for some but a definitive must for cinephiles. One of the best films at Cannes 2008. YRCinema's coverage of the Cannes Film Festival.
