Ich Hunger

Sep 29, 2013

Isaac Olsen – Tacoma, WA – 70 min

Take an international cast, a rolling landscape in Flint, Michigan, the thundering music of Red Hex and the twisted, talented mind of Isaac Olsen, and you have the German expressionist art film, Ich Hunger.

Shot in black and white with splashes of color, Ich Hunger is Local Sightings' only subtitled film (in German with English subtitles). Following the murderous escapades of a creature-like boy who terrorizes the farming township of Frondenberg, Germany, an inspector travels from Frankfurt to hunt him down. Nearly silent, and reminiscent of German expressionist films like Nosferatu, Ich Hunger is terror-as-pleasure.
