See this film: The Hunger at the Brattle

Vampires are hot these days, but they'll never be as hot as the incubus played by Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger (1983), Ridley Scott's creepily lush camp classic. She looks great as the ageless revenant who steams up the screen making whoopee with David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. That is, when she's not drinking the blood of witless joy seekers who look as if they'd wandered in from a Bret Easton Ellis novel. This movie epitomizes the '80s, and it screens as part of the ongoing Deneuve retrospective at the Brattle Theatre at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Friday, March 18 @ 10 pm | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors | 617 876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
