An incredible cinematic thriller combining food with social status
What a thrilling ride it was. Every moment I was holding my breath. From the beginning to the end it was amazing well done. Whoever says Thai movies aren't good I am just going to shove it on their face.
The plot point highlighted two things, if my takeaways from this movie is correct. On one side they showed the social inequality of the current world and how those who have something are hungry for more. On the other side they showed how being special is a curse in disguise and how when chasing success gets in your head you are hungry for more. It left a big impact on me. The pace was perfectly balanced where we got to witness all arcs of main lead's life.
Cinematography and direction wise this is the best Thai film I have watched. It is incredible to the point words aren't enough. Every shot was done in a way where it catches the emotions of the scene and the characters. It was not too fast neither too slow, the perfect pace. I loved how there were no unnecessary scenes or use of music. The background silence and only the sound of dialogues and cooking utensils made me feel like I was witnessing everything first hand. The cinematography alone is enough to keep you on your toes till the end.
One big thing about the movie is it has half the dialogues of other movies. All the actors had was expressions and gestures to act their way through. Yet they managed to express themselves incredibly well through their eyes, face and cooking. Kudos to the actors for managing to pull off all the cooking scenes. This is one of the most well acted Thai drama I have seen.
If anyone asks for Thai movie recommendations I am definitely sharing hunger. As someone who once aspired to become a chef the movie is quite close to my heart and I want to thank the entire team for creating "HUNGER"
