Shame
English director Steve Mcqueen does his second big production movie after Hunger.
Plot:
We get to follow a man with a sex addiction.
Review:
As the title implies, Shame is alive and well in Brandon (Michael Fassbender), a typical posh urban citizen of New York, and something he must live with every day. He has a sex addiction and it seems like a bottomless pit. His sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) has also very casually, given they're not so casual relation, decided it was a good idea to come stay with him.
The plot in itself may sound very limited because there really is not all that much to it storywise. Shame is a story about the inner life of a man with an addiction so naturally there is only so much that one can speak about it. There is a story at its very core but the primary focus is that of Brandon and his addiction and how it plays out in his everyday life.

I was also wondering when we would see the guy who has read the pick-up book The Game too many times on screen. Here he was, as Brandons co-worker. He was quite painful to watch because of his need to always try to pick females up, but as a contrast to Brandon he was quite interesting.
A somewhat dark and uneasy film with some good acting by the two leading roles, especially Michael Fassbender. Having watched the collaboration between Fassbender and Mcqueen in Hunger I would say this is probably an even better film.
