“Hunger” (2008) — directed by Steve McQueen.
According to Samuelson, “Hunger” is an “unflinching dramatisation of the last weeks in the life of Provisional IRA member Bobby Sands, played by Michael Fassbender.
“McQueen followed this up with the BAFTA-nominated ‘Shame,’ and the seminal BAFTA- and Oscar-winning ’12 Years a Slave,'” Samuelson added.
“Red Road” (2006) — directed by Andrea Arnold.
“A BAFTA-winner in 2007, ‘Red Road’ is the debut of Andrea Arnold,” Marc Samuelson said.
“This visually striking story of female isolation is a bold introduction to the work of Arnold, who has gone on to win a BAFTA for ‘Fish Tank,’ and was nominated in 2017 for ‘American Honey.'”
