The Prophet of Hunger (1970)

Directed by Maurice Capovila

“Hunger is a plague and he is the host.”

Drama · 1h 33m

The story of a fakir who works in a decadent circus. He and his colleagues do weirder numbers each day to attract audience, and warrant their survival. The numbers resemble a horror-show and they get marginalized. Through fable and allegory, reality turns stronger and stronger, and more absurd.
